This is not true at least here in Finland. Finnish editors have
complete credits for new Egmont stories but they have decided
not to print 'em. They say that part of the reason to do that
is that they don't get the credits for Dutch (and propably
Italian) stories. And they don't want to treat various artists
differently....
I asked this from Byron also when he was in Finland, but
he didn't give answer.
PS. The new 'mickey-in-old-red-shorts-with-two-buttons' story
by Verhagen&Erickson is currently being published in
Finland.
