Disney Adventures
Disney Adventures is a children's entertainment and educational magazine published ten times a year by The Walt Disney Company.
History
The magazine was first published in 1990, and featured a wide assortment of educational material, entertainment news, user contributions, and puzzle games. Regular features included "Card Shark" (a trading card collector's guide), "D.A. Buzz" (a guide to popular trends), "Joe Rocket" (a fictional persona who answered scientific questions sent in by readers), "Ticket" (a guide to television, movies, books, and music), and "Weird Yet True".
It was also well known for its extensive comics section. The comics usually featured in the magazine were standard Disney-based comics such as DuckTales, Darkwing Duck, Bonkers, and various adaptations of Disney feature films; as well as non-Disney material from artists such as Sergio Aragonés, Evan Dorkin, Matt Groening, and Jeff Smith. In addition, well known comic book industry names such as Marv Wolfman and Heidi MacDonald worked as comics editor for the magazine at various times during the mid-to-late 1990s.
In recent years, Disney Adventures has toned down its educational content and comics section, and currently focuses largely on American popular culture, targeting the Disney Channel demographic.
