Having grown surrounded by 70s, 80s and 90s Disney comics that my family stockpiled in the attic, it was kinda surprising to see that the US has next to no knowledge or access to these great comics, or to Donald, Scrooge or Mickey as great characters in cool stories.
I remember being excited about the original Ducktales due to the intro showing the characters I loved, finally being animated. Seeing that the stories were so watered down removed most of my interest.
Given how Disney is these days, I can't tell how two things happened. That they're so damn protective about characters they use as nothing but a trademark, to the point that most narrative featured them has to be watered down to a baby show degree, and how the hell they let Europe's freedom in writing Disney comics take them this far in all of these decades, with all of the quality work produced.
