When it comes to Disney comics, the European nations have it all over us six-ways-to-Sunday-Monday-Tuesday-and-Wednesday!
To be sure, they DESERVE IT! They support these things to an extent that we dullards in the USA, would never do!
But, even as the dim, dogmatic, dictatorship-in-waiting that we've allowed ourselves to become in recent years, we still appear to have SOMETHING over those more-enlightened lands... OUR COVERS!
Just compare our cover of UNCLE SCROOGE #04/Legacy #464 Cover "B" (Fantagraphics [January 2026])...
...with that of Germany's MICKY MAUS #2019-19 (Ehapa Verlag, September 06, 2019)...
...and compare for yourself!
We get Kari Korhonen's full page of cover art without the distracting clutter, while they... they... they... aw th' heck with international diplomacy... they get way too much of it! And too little of Kari's art to boot!
To be fair, the Scandinavian countries, where this storyline originated, also do the covers right...
...And they even get one on us, because they don't have the cover-image-perfection-spoiling UPC CODE BOX!
