Yes, "of course" they didn't.
*BUT*, this happened in 1988, now, that same trial would have very likely
ended completely differently.
Still, *that* trial, not another, because since then contracts were changed
to what they are now (leaving nothing to the author).
Or so I seem to remember to have read on the book "Casa Disney", a little
booklet about Disney rights in comics. (Maybe I remember wrong)

Well, actually he'd sued Mondadori, not Disney itself, and 1988 was the year
in which Mondadori stopped publishing Disney comics :-)
