History Magazine / DisneyAdventures

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Really, it depended on when you first started reading the magazine. However, [[http://www.toonzone.net/forums/showthread.php?229631-The-Disney-Adventures-Archive-Part-2&p=3250690#post3250690 the first official issue]][[hottip: *: There was a preview issue in Fall 1990 that laid out the original format and mainly featured a couple of ''DuckTales'' and ''ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' comics]] in particular was quite a bit different than what readers would see throughout the rest of TheNineties. For starters, the magazine itself was billed as the "Official Publication of TheDisneyAfternoon." Zip Code and Ticket had threadbare layouts, there was a technology feature called "Cyber," an action section called "Impulse," and the puzzles section was called "Xoxxox."

* RogerRabbitEffect: Was also there in a few of the comics. At least two DA comics featured Music/WeirdAlYankovic interacting with cartoon characters, and one featured the ''actual DA staff'' dealing with some cartoony villains.

* {{Retraux}}: Around the time that ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory 2'' came out, DA ran a series of ''[[ShowWithinAShow Woody's Roundup]]'' comics that were meant to look like aged comics from the 1950s. The entire pages themselves were even yellowed a bit to complete the illusion.

* ''NightmareNed'' (yes, really[[note]]''two of them'', in fact[[/note]])

* BrickJoke: The final issue featured a sequel to the ''DuckTales'' comic from the ''first'' issue.
* CrossThrough: 1994's ''TheLegendOfTheChaosGod'' story arc linked the continuities of ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'', ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', ''GoofTroop'', ''DuckTales'', and ''DarkwingDuck''. The story focused on a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot god-like dragon sorcerer]] that was [[SealedEvilInACan sealed in an ancient jewel]] trying to free himself by reuniting the jewel with its setting, a golden necklace. The story concluded with the Chaos God being freed and fighting Darkwing Duck.
* CutShort: The third-to-last issue reprinted the first half of a ''DarkwingDuck'' story (most likely attempting to advertise the show's second DVD set), but despite the promise made in the last panel, they forgot to run the second half in the final two issues.

* ''NightmareNed'' (yes, really[[hottip: *: ''two of them'', in fact]])

* ''DaveTheBarbarian''

During the One Saturday Morning era of Disney Television Animation, the Comic Zone gradually shifted its focus away from Disney's new animated television properties (some shows, like the ''{{Disney/Hercules}}'' series and ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'' ended up getting only one comic, while some like ''TeamoSupremo'' never got featured in comic form at all) and instead put it on original comics like ''Society of Horrors'' and ''Jet Pack Pets'' (although they would still occasionally feature a short comic based on one of the DisneyAnimatedCanon films, particularly if there was a new video release coming for the film in question). From then on, whenever a Disney animated property ''did'' get a comic story, it was a rare occasion that the story would be longer than four pages.

* ''[[WhoFramedRogerRabbit Roger Rabbit]]''

* ''{{ComicBook/WITCH}}''

* {{Homage}}: The two part ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'' story ''Murder Mania'' is an homage to the MarxBrothers and their films.

* RogerRabbitEffect: Was also there in a few of the comics. At least two DA comics featured WeirdAlYankovic interacting with cartoon characters, and one featured the ''actual DA staff'' dealing with some cartoony villains.

* AdaptationDistillation: More often than not, the comics based on the TV shows were generally pretty good, but the comic adaptations of the DisneyAnimatedCanon were shoehorned in quite a bit. ([[http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?p=3117221#post3117221 Here's an example]], which reduces the "Colors of the Wind" sequence from ''{{Pocahontas}}'' to a mere two frames.)
** Their ''DonkeyKong64' comic, in which King K. Rool's Kremling {{mooks}} look like miniature versions of [[GentleGiant K. Lumsy]] and the storyline bears very little resemblance to the game.

!!The Comic Zone contained examples of:

* RecursiveReality: The short ''Darkwing Duck'' comic titled "Cogito Ergo Something" has Launchpad holding up a dandelion and positing the existence of countless Recursive Realities to Darkwing. Sure enough, the perspective changes, and we see another world inside the dandelion seed where an alien Launchpad is presumably saying the same thing to an alien Darkwing about an alien flower. Then the perspective changes to inside the alien flower, and we see the "normal" world again ([[MindScrew inside the inside]]), where Darkwing promptly blows the whole idea off as nonsense and blows the dandelion seeds to the wind

* ''Film/ABugsLife''

* MilestoneCelebration: The magazine had one for its 50th issue, its 100th issue, and its tenth anniversary..
