 }But on the cover, are the prices for the following countries:
        (...)
 }As you said, it's practically all of South America. But Brazil isn't
 }on the list.

        Of course it couldn't be.  That edition wouldn't sell in Brazil
mostly because Spanish is *not* spoken in Brazil.  Besides, there's a
lot of local Portuguese-language titles available.

A}I didn't know that. That's interesting! After I read this, I took
 }a closer look at my Portugese Disney comics. I found two adresses. One
 }in Lisboa (Portugal) and one in Porto. I looked up Porto in my
 }interactive Global Explorer on CDROM, and I saw that Porto
 }is a small town in Brazil. So that's it!

        I don't know Disney editions from Portugal, but I suppose they
exist (Editora Abril has dropped the price in escudos from Brazilian
covers).  The CD-ROM is completely wrong.  What town were they
referring?  Porto (or Oporto in English), a major city in Portugal?  Or
Porto Alegre, capital of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil?  I'd make a
nice frisbee from that CD. :-)
