Disney to Publish Comics Again

A long time ago there were Mickey Mouse comics but they were discontinued. Well according to this article Disney will bring them back for another generation of kids.

The comics will be available through subscription at www.gemstonecomics.com, and can also be found using the comic shop locator, which directs consumers to the nearest comic specialty shop. The number is: 888-COMIC-BOOK, and the web site is: http://csls.diamondcomics.com.

Gemstone Publishing will introduce the first two monthly comics, Walt Disney Comics and Stories and Uncle Scrooge, in June at $6.95. The first bi-monthly, Donald Duck Adventures ($7.95), will debut in July, with two additional monthlies, Donald Duck and Friends and Mickey Mouse and Friends ($2.95) hitting the shelves in September.

Apparently this is all due in part to the increased popularity of comic books which in the last few years had appeared to sag in demand. Lately that has picked up and more and more kids are buying various comics. Surely the latest X-Men, Spiderman, and Hulk movies have helped this latest upsurge in sales.
