Actually, I think it looks *great*! Totally different from any other
Mickey story I've ever seen and totally off-model ...but still great in
its own way.

Do you know who the creators of the illegal Polish Mickey comics were?
Does current Polish Disney material ever refer to the illegal stuff (in
articles and such), or is it ignored? Were the illegal stories
considered underground or were they officially approved by the state?
Were any characters created especially for these? And do the illegal
creators have any kind of connection to the current Disney comics in
Poland?
