Greek Disney Comics

[Dr. Archontis Pantsios]

Fellow Quackeroos:

Most in this List are aware of the Greek Disney comic-book KOMIX; in
addition to KOMIX, 6 more Disney comics are published regularly in Greece:
MIKY MAOUS (weekly), MEGALO MIKY, ALMANAKO, DONALD, MINNI (monthlies), and
KLASIKA (bi-monthly). I will start presenting the contents of all these
(except for KOMIX, leaving this to Kriton's able hands), starting today with
MIKY MAOUS and KLASIKA; where I can identify a story's original title, I
will go ahead and list that; otherwise, I'll just write the English
translation of
the Greek title.
