Compare how many duck stories have been created in the last five years to
the number of new Arthur, Sherlock, Robin Hood, etc. stories that have been
created during the last ten years.  Do you see my point?>>

If you're talking usa comic books, sure.
  but if you;re talking books, i would guess about about 12-20 books a year 
on King Arthur
(a librarian i asked, guesses only about 6  new books a year).  
  Not too much a Holmes fan, but i would guess about 2 a year> (latest is 
holmes and lovecraft), even OZ books at least one a year (alot more during the 
recent anniversary  - and i recall one year with about  three different oz comic 
book series)
