Where can you find entire Disney Comic Book stories?

For old issues it is probably best to check online auctions such as ebay.com
Regarding current issues, I think you can buy them at e.g. amazon.com

If this is a request for wesites with illegal material, then I honestly don't think it is an appropriate topic for this forum!

Babelfish helped me out... but still it's kinda annoying if all people write in there native language (in this case portuguese).

I think it's a nice gesture to have this one thread open to non-English speakers.

A nice gesture? I really don't see the point. We're not even sure the original poster understands portuguese.

Babelfish is a JOKE! It translates words ver batim. It fails to understand any idiomatic phrases, or secondary meaning of words. It results in some very funny so-called translations! It produces the word order of the user's language NOT the language the user wants it translated into!

I think we would be inviting problems if we made a special thread for posters in their own language. It couldn't possibly cover the myriad of topics they would want to speak on.
However, I think it would be no problem to allow the occaisional post in a non-English reader/writer's tongue, as posts or information on this forum could pertain to the poster, personally.
Take, for example, this case of a Disney Artist being discussed on our Dutch Disney Comics Forum (McDuck.NL). A member bought an original pencil drawing by Santiago Scalabroni. He asked our members to provide information about that artist. Mr. Scalabroni was looking through the internet for sites with his name. He found the thread discussing him in Dutch language, but couldn't understand it. He wanted to know what we were saying about him, and if he could provide us better information. So he wrote of his desires in Spanish and English on our thread. We contacted him, and he provided lots of material and information, and also discussed topics on our threads. We referred him to our newly-started International (English language) sub-forum, where he could continue to participate in English. We should have some people who can respond to most non-English spreaking newcomers in a language they can understand, in case we have a situation like that with Mr. Scalabroni, or we can referr them to a Disney website that is in their language.
So, I wouldn't "outlaw", altogether, posts in one's native tongue, just to try to avoid unwanted, extranious post content.

BTW I'd like to recommend Peter K's site www.cbarks.dk - it's really a resource on Barks' stories and life!
