Did DC and Marvel have much exposure overseas before they started cranking out the superhero movies?
Yes, at least with respect to Marvel and the UK.

Yes, at least with respect to Marvel and the UK.

There were probably more people reading American comics in the UK in 1980 than read American comics in America in 2012.

I grew up with reading Superboy, Green Lantern, X-Men, Spiderman, Punisher etc. in the 80s, so: yes.

There were also Euro comics, though: Asterix and Lucky Luke, Tintin, Les Tuniques Bleues (Civil War comic), Mortadelo y Filemón (Clever & Smart in German) and a few other Francisco Ibáñez, etc.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
