Disney. Considering an average price per page of 150 Euro, we obtain a total
value of 60 million Euro (but the real figure is probably higher).

Nope... I did not mean "2,000 pages per year", but "a total 2,000 pages
distributed over 10 years". Two thousand pages per year means over 5 pages
per day - you have to draw faster than your shadow in order to achieve such
figures ;-)

> BTW: 150 euro/page? It seems a very high price to me. What's that figure?
Is it the amount which an author is paid for his/her work? Or is it the
"market value" of the comics stuff owned by Disney?

I guess Gianfranco should answer to this question, as I only translated what
he wrote...
