Comparing the price for an imported brand-new prestige format comic
book (essentially, a modern trade paperback) with the price for a
domestic second-hand traditional comic is a bit unfair, don't you think?

I don't know what Brits would want from a Disney comic, but I'm not sure
they would want "books and literature". (By "books and literature", do you
mean "stories for a more adult readership"?) Also, the problem with your
list is that it is a list for a one-shot publication. I can't imagine that
any publisher would buy a comics license from Disney and then only publish
one book. Try this thought experiment: have enough stories (of the kind you
think will sell in the UK) been made that a monthly could be kept going for
at least five years? If not, then I'm afraid many publishers would reject
the feasibility of publishing a continuing title like you describe.

What are "fact based comics"?
