The Austrian edition of Micky Maus is almost identical to the German version. It had different ads and some had different covers, which were sometimes air-brushed. There are no indexes available about the issues that were specially differed for Austria, but it is sure of the issues 35/1984 through 33/1988. There are at least to more Austrian Disney comics: The German Minnie Magazine, about which the information can also be read below, was created in Austria by a subsidiary printing house, not owned by Egmont. It even featured new art created in Austria. But rights have returned to Germany/Ehapa/Egmont, and so has the content. On the other hand there have been Disney-comics in Austrian youth-magazines as early as the 1930ies.

One famous example is the magazine Schmetterling (which means Butterfly), that featured "The Wise Little Hen" in 1938 - Donald was then called "Emmerich"... The German issues of Donald Duck also featured some Austrian advertisements once in a while and special airbrushed covers. The stories were identical to Danish Onkel Joakim, issue by issue, 6 in all (these were "Sammelbands"), but there was also some editorial stuff, completely missing in the Danish edition. For instance an interview with Johnny Grote, 'inkassowart' for D.O.N.A.L.D., and another with Giorgio Cavazzano when he was elected best artist of the year (1990, but by whom?). There's a picture too! He worked as an inker for Romano Scarpa since he was 12!! His first, own story was about Donald's hiccups in August '67 (I 611-B appears under Scarpa's name in Fossati's index BTW). Austrian (Disney-)Comics are not common, they share the German market. But Disney is distributed in Austria and Switzerland by EGMONT-A and EGMONT-CH, not by Ehapa. So they print both names in the books or make separate editions (also with different packed loose-leaf ads) - but the content is the same.
