  it hasn't been quite as bad as it sounds.  There was a short Australian 
series in 1984, but more importantly, the American Gladstones and Disneys 
were freely available in every local newsagent.  In the very early days, 
the Gladstones were even available in some petrol stations and convenience 
stores in country areas - mostly stocked by fans who had grown up on Disney 
comics.
  The tough question for me now is do I buy the Australian ones as well. 
Given they're half the size of the US versions, I definitely can't buy just 
Australian ones!

  Mike.
