History Magazine / DisneyAdventures

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 Franchise/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.

* ''Franchise/TheMuppets'' (only one short in final issue; writer/artist Roger Langridge then went on to create ''ComicBook/TheMuppetShowComicBook''

Perhaps the most memorable thing about ''Disney Adventures'', though, were its comics in each issue, which were later consolidated into a single section, the Comic Zone, in 1995. During the early half of the 1990's, the magazine's comics were mainly based on Disney's currently-running animated properties, such as the shows on TheDisneyAfternoon programming block. Later on, however, the Comic Zone began to expand its horizon to running excerpts of other independent comic books, such as ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'', ''TheSimpsons'' and ''LittleGloomy''. Then, in 1997, the magazine ran its first original comic, ''The Adventures of D & A'' (described [[http://www.platypuscomix.net/otherpeople/worstcomixever/deeanday.html here]] on Website/PlatypusComix), which opened the way for more original properties in the Comic Zone.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Really, it depended on when you first started reading the magazine.

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."

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

* ''WesternAnimation/SchnookumsAndMeat''

* ''BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand''

* OffModel: In the comic adaptation of (the first ten minutes of) ''[[Disney/{{Aladdin}} The Return Of Jafar]]'', Abis Mal is completely clean shaven, which is completely at odds with his black goatee in the actual movie and on the animated series.

* FollowTheLeader:
** Website/PlatypusComix, in particular, believes that ''The Adventures of D & A'' was inspired by the post-''[[Series/TheXFiles X-Files]]'' wave of interest in paranormal investigations.
** ''Jet Pack Pets'' is most likely inspired by ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' and shows of its ilk that aired around the same time.

** 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.

* ''Franchise/{{Marsupilami}}''

* DeadpanSnarker: Mickey Mouse, believe it or not, in the ''Disney's Tall Tales'' comics, a comic which is almost like ''TheRenAndStimpyShow'' with Mickey being a less {{Jerkass}} version of Ren, and Goofy being Stimpy.

''Disney Adventures'' was a magazine that started printing in 1990 by The Walt Disney Company. If you were a kid at any point between then and 2007 (when the magazine was canceled), you more than likely begged your parents to buy you at least one copy, because each issue featured a popular Disney character or Hollywood celebrity on its front cover.

* IconicLogo: As seen above. From December 1996 through June 1997, they experimented with a new logo, one that was bigger and had Adventures straightened out. Things went back to normal in the June 30 issue.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: When DA reprinted ''{{Bone}}'', for example, it changed the beer at the Barrelhaven Tavern into soda, replaced all mentions of God with "Gosh", and cut out two scenes entirely.

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

* CrossThrough: 1994's ''ComicBook/TheLegendOfTheChaosGod'' story arc linked the continuities of ''WesternAnimation/TaleSpin'', ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', ''GoofTroop'', ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales'', and ''WesternAnimation/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.

** There was also has an issue with a story meant to promote Mickey's Toontown at [[DisneyThemeParks Disneyland]]. In it, the backgrounds were photos of the park but the characters were hand-drawn (rather badly).
