I'm estonian, (co-founder of the mentioned page
www.hot.ee/koomiks) and I'll try to answer some of those questions regarding our comics scene.
And sorry for my bad English, but I think it's better than my bad Finnish.
Kuinka he suhtautuvat siihen ettei näissä maissa ole liiemmin sarjakuvaa julkaistu, etenkään amerikkalaista? Ovatko kateellisia kun esim. meillä löytyy julkaisuja mitä kerätä, mutta heillä kaikki on suht uutta? Millainen sarjakuvadiggailu ja -keräilyskene näissä maissa on?
I guess some younger readers do miss american serialised stuff - If I were younger, I'd miss. Haven't personally met any "thirsty throats", though. I'm sure some of youngsters (or elders?) are browsing pirated series or webcomics. But it means that in the coming years there's still no readers who would like to BUY something "more serious"...
I know that some guys have collected Sandman books, Hellboy, SinCity, manga etc. But they are definetly exceptions who grew up with the so-called Estonian comics boom at the beginning of the 90s. I have seen even quite active manga fan-portal somewhere, but it's gone by now. besides that, I haven't seen or heard about any collecting-scene. I think that Estonian reader is moving towards Japan and skipping the American part but I have no proof for this theory.
Tallinnassa ei ainakaan kioskeissa näy muita sarjiksia kuin Miki Hiir ja joku paikallista tuotantoa oleva lastenlehti joka on vain osaksi sarjakuvaa. Asterixeja on kuulemma nyttemmin käännetty viroksi, mutten ole sellaista nähnyt.
Some of Asterix has been translated (Egmont) and you can still buy it from random book shop, but I'm not sure it's still published. I think Mickey Mouse, Tom & Jerry and Muumit are more or less regurally appearing under Egmont Estonia. And there's small collections of Haggar the Horrble and Ernie (Hannes?) published. That's about all I see around right now.
Nostalgia: at the beginning of the 90s I could buy Maia Mehiläinen from the newspaper kiosk if I was lucky. I still have about 30 of them

Also, lots of random Finnish translated stuff were available... Musta Naamio, Ressu etc. I have no idea who brought them here but I'd like to shake his/hers hand. In my local library I was also reading finnish second-hand Asterix and Tintin series.
Right now I'm getting all the comics form trips to other counties and Amazon virtual world (thus it can't be much) and I guess that's what all the other freaks are doing in our eastern periphery.
