Quote from user: MrClevelandBut I also wonder in Disney Duck Comics are big in other regions in the world besides Europe, Brazil, and The U.S.A.?
I think if we exclude USA, Brazil and Europe, then Indonesia is sure to get the 1st prize in that regard, followed by China/HongKong. There are currently several Disney magazines published in Indonesia, including the legendary "Paman Gober" (Uncle Scrooge). Most of them are European-type pocket size publications and some are printed in b/w.

Quote from user: MickeyQuote from user: Artemiin Russia the only Disney comic book that's still officially published is "Mickey Mouse".
Hey! What are you talking about? "Mickey Mouse Russian Edition" stop publish in the summer of 2011, as and "Disney Comix"! Today in Russia there is no published comic magazine about ducks and mice, sadly, but it's true!
Sad, indeed :(

Our one has just switched from weekly to bi-weekly, and has removed the toys from most issues in order to increase the page number (32->40, incl. covers). Its fate in the future is still uncertain.

On the upside, however, the pocket-size 3-tier "Macrocomics" (192 pg.) is doing fine and will switch to monthly this year :) And the Mickey Mouse page change is even featured in an ad at the official Disney website (www.disney.bg).

You are right. Must have missed that moment. Mickey Mouse hasn't been sold at stands and kiosks for ages anyway. All of that makes things even worse.

How did you Russians get your books, then? All by subscription?

Yes, I meant the Russian comic books. Artemi mentioned they haven't been sold at newsstands for years, so I wondered where you got them from.

So a lot of countries have stopped publishing Disney comics?
That's very, very sad, especially for children :( Because "superheroes" comics aren't as family/kid friendly as Donald/Mickey comics, and the other kids comics like Winnie or Cars are pure "marketing" products, to sell toys.

To me, the Disney comics need to be published in modern ways, ie computers, Ipad, phones etc... to be successful. Kids nowadays don't really care for printed content, they much prefer to read on screens because it attracts them.
I know Disney has tried that, but honestly, they don't put much efforts into it. No promotion, no support, expensive prices, limited availability...
If Disney did make it possible to buy comics on a regular PC computer, I would buy hundreds of comics!!!
