not only in comics
eamples
In the 60`s there were spiderman ocmics made in mexico by mexican artists , to complete the run of official stories 8the publishing schedule on Mexican spider man exhausted rapidly the original comics)

In the sixties there was a very good drawn comic book of Superman made in Argneitne
In fascist Italia, flash gordon was continued when started the war by italian artists, including a writer called Federico Fellini
going into pulps, in 1920`s Tarzan got a full series of apocrip`hals novels madei n argneitna. And in the 60`s he was the star of hundred of novels made in Israel and Egypt. In the novels madei n Israel, he was against the arabs. The ones madei n Egypt, he fought the sionists =)
And don`t get me started on Turkish movies =)
there was also some sotires made for foreign markets with official arpproval. For example there was a big bunch of Sugar & spike stories made for the mexican market after the original comic as discontinuedi n USA, all of them scripted (and some even drawn) by Sheldon Mayer.
