Marvel Superheroes 1966 cartoons

[simonsings]

Hello everyone



I have my theory why The Marvel Super-Heroes(1966) cartoons were never properly packaged and made available by Disney : Disney avoid having to pay the heirs of Jack Kirby, Don Heck and all those wonderful artists who first penned the Marvel Silver Age because those semi-animated flicks were actually photographs of comic book pages. What do you think?

I love those cartoons, especially the songs…One has to see the PBS doc about superheroes (The Eternal Battle)…in the bonus material there is an interview with Jacques Urbont who composed the songs! So much fun. He sings them as he plays the piano! Very Cool. Doc Bruce Banner belted by gamma rays Have a nice day.

I suspect it's a licensing/royalties thing, although I don't have any clue about the specifics.
