That's what I dislike most in the Dutch Disney comics. They NEVER tell
you who created a story. Disney comics are quite popular in Holland,
but (most of) the poeple who read them, never heard of 'Don Rosa', 'Carl 
Barks' or 'William Van Horn'! That's why (I think) the Dutch Donald Duck 
weekly gets those childish letters in their letter-column, like: "I had to
go to the dentist yesterday", or: "when it's my birthday, I get TWO
cookies with my cola!". What ELSE can the readers of Dutch Disney comics
write about? 

Just like Don said, it's ALL European Disney comics, that 'refuse' to
print the entire credits. When I'm reading a German "Donald Duck Sonder-
heft" or a french "Le Journal de Mickey". It's always the same!
I only got to know about these artists, when I began reading American 
Disney comics!

I'd appreciate that. If you'd like to take a look, I'd maybe be able to 
add "Kenya" to my "(Non-)Disney-Comics-Publishing-Countries-List".

I have to agree, that when you only earn about $80 a month, you're not 
really interested in buying Disney comics. Someone, who had visited Mexico 
City, once told me, that almost ALL children on the street are reading 
comics. They're not DISNEY comics though! But very small and cheap comics. 
(with a lot of violence and sex). These comics are supposed to be extremely
popular over there. Even the children who live on the streets read them.
I have one of those comics here. It's called "Sensacional de Luchas a 
Color". The Disney Comics in Mexico (like 'Pato Donald' or 'Daisy') are
also very cheap and small!
