donald duck comics are pretty popular in some european countries - i know they have been pretty big in italy, and can attest from personal experience they remain pretty popular in finland
Donald Duck actually sold so poorly in my country, Norway, that it was cancelled. The big sellers now are comic strips and YA fantasy.

And issues come out like a month apart despite barely being 20 pages.

You should try reading european comics. Since Thorgal, for example, started in 1977 there's been released 37 albums. If X-Men was an european comics we wouldn't even be past the Dark Phoenix story line.
