According to Ahmet Zappa, son of the legendary Frank Zappa and super-powered psychic witch businesswoman Gail, magic is real.
Together with former president and CEO of Fox Inc.’s Twentieth Television Harris Katleman and Silent Devil Productions co-founder and professional writer/producer/musician/actor Christian Beranek, they have been given the keys to the magical world of Disney with today’s announcement of a multi-year deal with The Walt Disney Studios to oversee the newly christened Kingdom Comics, an innovative new venture of developing graphic novels to create new film projects for the Studio as well as re-imagining and rejuvenating motion pictures from the Disney live-action vault.
Disney Publishing Worldwide, the largest distributor of comic books in the world, will have the first opportunity to distribute publications created by Kingdom Comics. President of Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures Production Oren Aviv said, “We’re very excited to be working with Harris, Ahmet and Christian in developing this new business devoted to creating stories and properties for the graphic novel audience, as well as for moviegoers. They are three of the top talents in their respective fields and together they have the knowledge, expertise and instincts to create great publications and film properties. Some of these exciting publications will be inspired by films and characters in the vast and storied Disney library, while other original graphic novels are sure to spark great ideas for future Disney classics. Our vision for Kingdom Comics is to bring a fresh, contemporary approach to Disney properties that already have a strong connection with moviegoers and readers all over the world, and to add to that storytelling legacy.”
