Per:
> Actually at least 14 of these have been published in Sweden:
I looked it up, a lot of the stories have been reprinted in Holland, too.
I don't have them, so I can't give page count or codes.
According to the Dutch "Comic book price guide", the stories marked with
'H' are also published in Holland:

For what I have seen from them, the art is quite good (just like in the
series "A Goofy look at..." by Bob Foster and Jaime Diaz. You *have* seen
these in the USA). But it was not good enough for be to buy the albums...
