Althought I'm not Maciek, I think I can answer this question.
We, Poles, didn't have any Disney (and any American) comics during the cold
war. The first issue of monthly "Mickey Mouse" was published in the winter
of 1990, shortly before the end of the conflict between USSR & USA.
Hovewer, some Mickey Mouse stories were published after II World War, but
they were written and drown by Poles and any of Disney's copyright weren't
respected.

BTW: the end of the school is coming on, so I think I'd be more active. And
you won't forget me :-)

Best wishes,
