History Magazine / DisneyAdventures

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

The magazine was suddenly canceled in 2007...[[MoodWhiplash two issues after it celebrated its 17th anniversary]].

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 WesternAnimation/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}}'', ''ComicBook/TheSimpsons'', ''Dr. Watchstop'', ''Nervous Rex'', and ''Little Gloomy''. 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.

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 ''WesternAnimation/{{Hercules|TheAnimatedSeries}}'' series and ''WesternAnimation/TeachersPet'' ended up getting only one comic, while some like ''WesternAnimation/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.

!!The Comic Zone contained examples of:

* ParentalBonus: For both the Comic Zone and the main magazine, but the comics in particular made sly references to people or things that kids most likely wouldn't have heard of yet.

* TakeAThirdOption: For one Letters page, the editors asked readers to write in and answer [[HypotheticalFightDebate who would win in a fight]]: Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer or Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch. One reader response said that Buffy and Sabrina were both good people, probably wouldn't want to fight, and would probably become friends instead.

* ''Mr. Adventure'': Similar to Big Adventures, this was a first-person column written by senior editor Sean Plottner, where he would participate in jobs like survival training or tree climbing a la ''Series/DirtyJobs''. Also called ''The Adventure Files''.

* ''Zip Code'': A column printing readers' letters to the magazine, later renamed simply [[ShapedLikeItself "Letters"]].

* ''Mr. Adventure'': Similar to Big Adventures, this was a first-person column written by senior editor Sean Plottner, where he would participate in jobs like survival training or tree climbing a la ''Series/DirtyJobs''.

* ''Ticket'': The entertainment column talking about upcoming kid-friendly movies, TV shows, comics, and video games.

* ''Joe Rocket: Master of All Knowledge'': A science column by a character named Joe Rocket, who hung out in a treehouse called "the A-ZONE" and wrote about his adventures with his sidekick MC[[superscript:2]], brother Blubb, and their friends Chiphead and Dozmo. Joe also answered reader-submitted science questions.

* ''Cool Stuff'': A SpiritualSuccessor to Card Sharks, featuring a rundown of toys and gadgets.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame''

* ''Kid Blastoff'': A one-off three-parter from Creator/EvanDorkin about a wannabe CelebritySuperhero.

* ''[[ComicStrip/ComicZoneLiloAndStitch Lilo & Stitch]]'': This includes [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch the original film]], ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'', [[Franchise/LiloAndStitch and]] ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch2StitchHasAGlitch''.

* TakeAThirdOption: For one Letters page, the editors asked readers to write in and answer [[HypotheticalFightDebate who would win in a fight]]: Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer or Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch.

* ShipTease: For ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}''. The April 1999 issue, which promoted ''WesternAnimation/DougsFirstMovie'', printed a page from Patti Mayonnaise's diary, where she admits that she ''really'' likes a guy, but doesn't say who. However, the page also features Patti's doodle of a maze, where the only solution leads to Doug.

* 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. In September 2006, Disney permanently abandoned this logo in favor of one that had their name dwarf the word "Adventures".
