Marvel Adventures

In April 2012 it was replaced by the all new All Ages line tied to the Marvel Universe block on Disney XD.

The initial idea for the imprint was to reuse the early plots, written by Stan Lee in the 1960s, in a modern-day setting, with new writers and artists retelling the stories.

The stories would be published in the standard comic book format and quickly collected and reprinted in manga-style digest size.

Each book also contained character concept sketches by the artists on the last pages.

In 2005 Darwyn Cooke was brought on to develop a new all-ages book based on Marvel's heroes.
