Greek austerity kills Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse fells victim of the Greek crisis

The Greek crisis swallows another famous victim: Mickey Mouse. After 48 years of publishing the Mickey Mouse magazines in Greek, Christos Terzopoulos announced the stop of the publication.

The Greek edition of Mickey Mouse was published by Nea Aktina S.A. from 1 July 1966 until August 2013.
