I'm starting to buy a few UK Disney comics off ebay and stuff, but I live in the US and am not sure of what all publications etc. are out there and what is good. Any suggestions?

For an overview of what exist you should check out the list of UK publications in inducks. There are still a lot of issues that are not indexed yet, but all major series are listed and you can get a basic idea of what kind of stories they contain.
For a start, I'd suggest the series Mickey and Friends and Disney Magazine. Both series contains a lot of Egmont produced stores not printed in the USA. And if you check eBay from time to time you can get bulk lots quite cheap.
Two other series that are easy to get cheap are the weekly Mickey Mouse and Donald and Mickey from the 70's. But if you enjoy reading comics and not just collect them, I'd suggest you don't buy any of those! Most stories in those two series are completely butchered with cutting and remounting, and not readable at all!

The UK has published an amazing amount of different Disney comic book titles, with almost all having very short running periods and few to very few comic books issued.

I know about their butchering of Barks' stories. I saw a very short version of Barks' "Rocket Race To The Moon" 1958 Uncle Scrooge story. It was missing essential panels and pages. Unbelievable what they did!

Maybe that short U S story (The Twenty-four Carat Moon) originated from the Scandinavian version ? I remember when it was published in the early or mid 1970's in Sweden and I saw the horrible stripped version. Maybe the worst example ever in this regard. By then I was happy to already have bought the American original Uncle Scrooge #24 and just wondered, why this horrible cutting ?
There were a few other examples in Scandinavia at that time of drastic cutting of Barks stories.
Here, http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=W+US+++24-01
you see that 9 pages were cut from the story 1974 in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and 1975 in Finland (even if they are obviously wrong about the number of cut pages in the Norway example)
But obviously also in Great Britain and Germany 1975.
Strange !

The amount of cutting isn't usually that bad. But this is a typical example of how it was done in the British "Mickey Mouse" comic in the 70s.
The image show the last part of Stalwart Ranger compared to the original.
- the story is published in parts
- all panels are rearranged to fit a 5-tier format
- most panels have been cropped a little (some a lot)
- some panels are missing (2 in this example)
- speech bubbles are redrawn

A friend of mine (Johan de Jong) had a photocopy of a page from the UK printing on his wall. It was SO different from ANY page of the original story (panels cut out, other panels widened and shortened (and, I believe art from two panels combined into one panel) that I thought I was looking at an UNPUBLISHED 1958 story from Barks!!!

There is not supposed to be different temperatures in hell, but I guess that was wrong then ;-)
