Ah well, let it be the best in Greece then, since it targets the Greek
readers so well.

So KOMIX is

1) For the Greek population and written in Greek.
2) Contains Barks re-re... which the rest of Europe has seen ad nauseam.

What exactly makes it so exquisite then? (except from the articles and
the glossy paper) If a comic is supposed to have an over-all interest to
the world, it should appeal to as many as possible, but your KOMIX
doesn't, and it was never intended to do so. Perhaps I am wrong, perhaps
the rest of Europe loves to read Barks' stories in Greek--in that case I
apologize.

Never mind, the two KOMIX I have are stuffed with stories I've seen
before, and this is not my idea of a "one of the best in Europe" mag.
Sorry.
