4 Billion $ Comic Book


By Johnnie L Roberts, Newsweek 8/31/09
Finally, Snow White can ditch those seven dwarfs for some tough guys--Spider-Man, Iron Man and the X-Men. Dopey, Grumpy, Doc, Happy, Bashful, Sneezy and Sleepy got some new competition today as Disney announced a $4-billion deal to acquire Marvel Comics. But Disney's princesses can live on in their fantasy world without fear of any of Marvel's 5,000 tough characters. There's a simple reason they'll coexist peacefully: Bob Iger, who began his tenure as Disney CEO with the acquisition of Pixar, knows his way around the world of animation.
