Sounds interesting, but I don't see any link?

So, Spiderman, The Hulk and other superheroes will now be in Disney films? Does that also mean that the comic book versions will be in Disney Comics? I know for USA, that they wouldn't appear in Gemstone Disney Comics, but in Disney's own publications, but in The Netherlands (and Scandinavia and other countries) the feature film comic book adaptations are published in the regular Disney Comics. Somehow, I can't picture Spiderman in Donald Duck Weekblad. But, if Marvel currently has publication deals in given countries, I assume that the feature film adaptations with those characters will be published in the current Marvel publications.

Quote from user: Lars JensenStan Lee will be creating new characters and concepts for the Disney Company.
Well this ought to be...interesting. Still it's good to see that he wants to work with Disney so who knows, something unexpectadly good may turn up.

Disney/Marvel/Stan Lee cooperation isn't that new, is it? I mean, Marvel have been publishing Disney comics on and of for decades.

It might be only from 1990 on, when they took up with the non-classical characters, like animated films heroes, when the Studio program ended (also in 1990). I am not completely sure though if they didn't produce a few comics in the late 80s.
I think Gladstone I only had a license for Mickey, Donald and other main characters at that time.

Yes, but Marvel distributed all Gladstone Comics-not having anything to do with Disney films. And maybe that just occurred because Marvel was already distributing the Disney Film based comics.
During the Gladstone I period, Rob, Marvel had nothing to do with the distribution of the Gladstone comics. Marvel did produce and distribute two ROGER RABBIT graphic novels in 1989, but that had no direct bearing on Gladstone's production or distribution.Quote:Wasn't it in 1990, that Disney Corp. took over publication of Gladstone's line?
Yes.Quote:So, Marvel also distributed Uncle Scrooge, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, and Walt disney's Comics and Stories, when Disney published them in house.
I'm afraid they didn't...Quote:THEN, it seems, when Disney stopped publishing them, and Gladstone returned, Marvel continued to distribute those lines, as the infrastructure to do so was still in place.
Gladstone itself made that distribution deal with Marvel, setting up that infrastructure, in 1993. To the best of my knowledge, Disney hadn't had such a deal earlier.
The Marvel-distributed Gladstones did show the Disney Comics, Inc. logo on them, but that was just a quirk of the distribution arrangement; it didn't reflect any deal that had been in place previously.
If you want to slug me for correcting you, Rob, you'll have your chance in just a few days, now... (wak!)

Quote:Stan Lee, visionary co-creator of Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, The Hulk, Daredevil and the Fantastic Four, is teaming up with Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment (WDSHE) to introduce a revolutionary new concept in original superheroes and the comic book format: Time Jumper, which will become the industry's most ambitious digital comic book series ever designed to release on multiple platforms. In addition to the 'Time Jumper' initiative, The Walt Disney Studios announced an extension of Stan Lee's POW Entertainment, Inc production deal that covers all forms of media from movies and television through to publishing, games, the internet and mobile-web.
