DISNEY ACQUIRES CROSSGEN ASSETS

Disney Publishing Worldwide announced the acquisition of the assets of CrossGen Entertainment.

"To maintain our leadership position, we are committed to developing and acquiring top-quality, powerful content that expands our rich comic portfolio and CrossGen has some great properties," said DPW President Deborah Dugan. In light of recently reported declines in reading, we are developing creative new approaches using comics to engage children in the written word, and we hope to benefit from CrossGen's experience in this area.

"Given Disney's legacy in comics, global distribution relationships and talent for multi-media storytelling, I believe we have found a great home for these properties," said CrossGen's CEO and founder Mark Alessi.

One of the first CrossGen titles DPW plans to develop is Abadazad. Four Abadazad books are already slated to be published by Hyperion Books for Children, an imprint of DPW.

The most successful publishing properties also generate excitement throughout Disney, including its motion picture, television and games units, Dugan said, and Abadazad lends itself perfectly to Disney's synergistic philosophy.

THE FLASH CREATOR DIES

Harry Lampert, who created The Flash in 1940 with writer Gardner Fox, has died at age 88 in Boca Raton, Fla.

His family said he had been suffering from cancer and died at Boca Raton Community Hospital.

Lampert began drawing professionally at age 16, inking cartoons at Fleischer Studios for characters such as Popeye, Betty Boop and KoKo the Clown.

Six years later, he created The Flash for Flash Comics #1.

Although retiring in 1980, Lampert still frequented comics conventions.
