Americans have this weird hangup where they think readers' heads are going to explode if a Disney comic book contains a story that vaguely alludes to some other story that's never been published in English, yet they have no issue publishing massive stacks of super hero continuity porn where you need to be familiar with 50 years worth of backstory to understand plot points and character motivation.

Yup. I remember an instance where, in this story, Bum Bum meets with his cursed mirror, whom he met in this story. When the former was published in Egmont countries (at the same year, pretty fast compared to their standards), the latter wasn't published yet (not until 2017, apparently), so the caption box referring to the prequel was (in the Danish translation at least) translated to "From Bum Bum's gloomy past!". Funnily enough, the sequel states that the mask can only use its powers every five years. Despite the order being upside down, there was a gap between the printings of the two stories of....... five years.
Is it weird that I'd like to see a collected edition of Bum Bum comics? The stories he's in are some of my favorites, but they're published so sporadically in my country that it's nearly impossible to collect them.
