This. Also, in some countries the FW series didn't start airing until 1990 or so... around the time the movie came out.
The comics were never popular to the point of getting a movie. If they were popular then more than 1% of the world's population would know of them, certainly... Hell, I don't think even 1% of the world's population has heard of the Mirage comics, let alone read them.
