I wasn't going to buy any
Quarter Bin comics yesterday...
...but come on, guys--
Russian Disney comics? How am I supposed to resist that?
Maybe it's just me, but this is really
freaking me out. With many other foreign language comics, they at least use our alphabet, and I know barely enough of the romance languages to sort of kind of figure out what's going on.
But like
the Greek reprints of The Mighty Oop, the different alphabet keeps causing fierce cognitive dissonance in my brain.
Ouch!!
Our back covers featured promos for
other Disney projects:
And we got to see the adventures of
Mickey and
Uncle Scrooge--
in Russian!!
There were catalog inserts for other things to buy...
...things that I can't make
heads or tails of...
A letters page!
The obligatory "
activities" pages...
Fun fact: each issue had a one-page story printed in English (with helpful translations of American idioms in the margins):
Yeah, I could run all this stuff through
Google Translate--but really, I'd rather gaze in awe and be mystified by the Cyrillic.
Russian comics, man...
LONG LIVE THE QUARTER BIN!!
