Mh. Surely Disney was a phenomenon, but of what kind? May be he even did not
like very much Comics...
"Europeans" what does it mean? Did you read stories by Scarpa, Cavazzano, De
Vita, Rota? Are talking just about European *Disney* comics? What about Hugo
Pratt, Franquin, Goscinny etc... ? Even in the USA there is a big lot of
difference between Disney comics, Calvin & Hobbes, Will Eisner...
So. It seems we are starting a flame war...
