Once in a while if there's something Disney really wants buried, it's banned from getting reprinted. I've been directly told by some insiders that there had been attempts to get those stories to print in the US for ages and they'd been forbidden directly; it seems to have lifted only in the mid 2010s where Portugal, Finland, even Japan of all places got full reprints
If you want a weirder example, there's an Italian story from a few years ago that was a sequel to an old story that itself was a sequel to Steamboat Willie. Last second, Disney ordered the issue with this story pulped- the magazines had already been printed, but Disney denied the story getting to exist, so the magazines were destroyed before being sold. The story was then forbidden for years, again, no one sure why. Eventually last year or this year, there was a separate special edition reprint of that Steamboat Willie sequel story, and they finally got to print this forbidden sequel one- and then right after, it seems to have gone back to being banned again, since Fantagraphics did a US equivalent to that book but the story is suspiciously absent. Really weird
