Is there someone outside America who actually likes superhero comics?

A possible answer to your question might be: worldwide publishing limitations in the early days and superhero comics being a genuine North-American invention and phenomenon (though the latter theory doesn't explain today's enormous worldwide success of superhero movies).

I guess it's possible... I wouldn't count superhero movies as a problem with this hypothesis, as the movies lack many of the bad things (in my opinion) comics suffer from.

Maybe it has something to do with American national identity. They always admired vigilantes and one-man justice. Romanticized criminals and violence generally. I don't see that in Europe very much. Maybe superhero comics were so popular because they hit this particular part of their national identity...

Crazy Americans and their comic strips like Diabolik...
