Comics at Disney podcast

Episode 30: Comics In Disney

ByAugie De Blieck Jr.

I spent a long weekend in DisneyWorld and Universal Theme Parks a couple weekend ago. I kept an eye out for everything they featured as far as comics go. Disney owns Marvel, but Universal maintains the Marvel theme parks license east of the Rockies. It’s a crazy situation, but it is what it is.

I kept my eye out for two things on the trip: Uncle Scrooge, since it was Christmas time and I figured this was my best shot at seeing Scrooge merchandise in the Magic Kingdom. And comic books. I found the comics in a surprising way… That’s what this podcast is all about.

Bonus tip: Ride the Hulk roller coaster as often as possible, especially at night. It’s awesome.
