Yeah, not without advance permission, anyway.

The mouse in question on both Adams covers is ATOMIC MOUSE, published by Charleton from 1953-1963.

I didn't know till you mentioned him that Mighty Mouse was a publication of Timely/Marvel beginning in 1946. Although it began as a Terry-Toon animated cartoon character, apparently licensed to many other publishers over the last 7 decades.

In less litiginous times, Disney tolerated them, both the Mighty and Atomic mice, without a problem.
