I think these were erroneous identifications by the Inducks indexers. Most
of the PDL cases from the 70s were indexed by the same person. I think he
mistakenly attributed a specific art style to PDL, while it was someone
else.
Anyway, the stories in Inducks from before 1963 have been thorougly checked,
so a PDL credit is quite certain. After that, we mostly rely on art
recognition.
Thanks for spotting this Inducks error!

I only get KOMIX these days, but I seem to remember that a couple of
lifetimes away, back in 1985, there used to be an annual publication
called "Super Mickey" (all right, "Souper Miky"), which was published each
summer, and was similar to "Megalo Miky", only a lot thicker. I have no
idea if it is still being published. If it is, it would probably count
as a regular title, even though it would be at the limits of regularity.

Greek "Miky Maous"

FRANCOIS:

Yes, the Greek "Miky Maous" is pocket-book size, with a page-count of 100.
It is the longest-running Disney title in Greece, having made its debut
back in 1966, when the present publisher (Mr. Terzopoulos) picked up the
Disney license.
I grew up on "Miky Maous". My Mom would call all the comic books I'd buy
"Miky Maous"! My Dad would also read it (we're talking about late
'60s-early '70s), and he still remembers Uncle Scrooge and his Money Bin.
It's in there that I read my first Scarpa and Barks.
"Miky Maous" has gone thru a number of phases: it had *great* periods when
it published true gems by people like Scarpa, Barks, Carpi, Cavazzano, M.
De Vita, and other less fascinating periods, when it re-printed the worst
from Italy's "Topolino", or when it'd print and re-print the same story
countless of times, ad-nauseum. In the past 2-3 years, it re-prints stories
from "Topolino" with a 2-3 year gap, never seen before here in Greece, even
if their selection is not always optimal and to my taste.
Yes, I'd call "Miky Maous" Disney-comics' main-stay in Greece.

Recently someone on this list made a comment about Mr Schultz's wonderful
creations "getting a rest". While I do agree that the commercial market
has been flooded with Peanuts stuffed toys, greeting cards and things
like that, it is getting increasingly difficult to find collections of
the actual comic strips. When it comes to high quality collections of
his work, I hope the Peanuts gang are kept hard at work for many years.
As we all know, Charles Schultz was a brilliant artist. Anyone who can
make us care about little pictures that they draw deserves imminent
respect. He was a wonderful man and it saddens me greatly that a
generation of our young people know him only by his (often times)
lackluster animated cartoons, not the wonderful comics that he had done
for us.
Mr Schultz never viewed his work or fans as a curse, or something that he
needed to discourage, unlike many other comic artists. He truly loved
what he did, and remained *very* good at it for 50 years and because of
that I respect him more than nearly any other comic artist. I will miss
his "little drawings", as he referred to them as, very, very much.

Or, more likely, his father. If I recall correctly, Miky Maous was originally
published by E. Ch. Terzoopulos, while it is now published by Ch. E.
Terzopoulos. (Given that most Greeks use their father's name as a middle name,
and that many Greeks take the name of one of their grandparents, I would
assume that the current publisher is the son of the original publisher.)
In any case, the Disney license has been in the same family business for a
third of a century.
> I grew up on "Miky Maous".
Ditto. As an interesting bit of trivia, I remember that the day the military
coup broke out in Greece on April 21, 1967 was a Friday, because I remember I
had been expecting to get the new issue of Miky Maous that day--talk about
rare issues!

One of these must have been during its first years, when they even got
some kind of quality award from Disney, in the form of a bronze statue of
Donald, a picture of which they would print on a few issues of that time.

Actually, "Souper Megalo Miky" is not a separate publication, but part of
the monthly "Megalo Miky". Once or twice a year, "Megalo Miky" becomes
extra thick and is named "Souper Megalo Miky". These special issues in the
"Megalo Miky" series usually publish the comic-book adaptations of recent
Disney box-office releases.

My error, indeed. The distinction is important, as the famous fictional
Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, created by English mystery writer Agatha
Christie, is at constant narrative pains to point out. I was focusing so

You can find info on Disney comics from around the world on my website DCW.
Unfortunately I have not updated the site in a year, so the info might be a

I'm fairly certain that what I remember was called "Souper Miky"
and that it didn't contain comic-book adaptations of (then) recent
Disney box-office releases. It only came out during the summer, was
numbered separately, and an interesting feature was that its otherwise
undistinguished cover was littered with copies of a small drawing
(e.g., a fish) printed using a pale color, presumably intended as a
spot-the-whatever game, though there wasn't any mention of it anywhere.
