Summary:The synergistic, transmedia storytelling practices of comic book publishers and film studios currently are of great significance, particularly in the midst of Marvel’s decade-long dominance of the box office. [...]the second chapter points to early film-to-comic efforts like the syndicated Mickey Mouse comic strip that emerged shortly after the legendary cartoon character made his cinematic debut in 1928. Davis provides cogent examples of comic books’ attempts to capitalize on television’s popularity, whether it be by replicating popular shows or actually promoting television sets—such as Crosley Division and Avco Manufacturing Corporation’s Tee and Vee Crosley in Television Land Comics.
