The Disneyland poster for Snow White's Scary Adventures was first put on display in 1983 near the Main Street Train Station. It commemorated the opening of the ride in New Fantasyland that year.

A reproduction of the poster was offered for sale in the 1984 Disney Family Christmas Showcase gift catalog, available exclusively to members of the Disneyland Magic Kingdom Club. The collectible lithograph measured 24" x 36" and came in two styles. The Popular Edition was printed on premium-quality poster stock and retailed for $12.50. A Collector's Edition was produced on acid-free archival-quality paper. It was limited to 150, each numbered and imprinted with an authenticity seal. Price: $200.

In the early 1940s, Disney comic books began running crossover stories with characters from Snow White being joined by others like Thumper and Dumbo. This mashup trend continues to this day. February Foolery is a five-page tale starring Goofy along with the Old Witch. Other characters include: Brer Rabbit and the Three Little Pigs. It first appeared in the Dell Mickey Mouse Almanac from December 1957. Original price: 25¢. It was written by Carl Fallberg; pencils and ink by Jack Bradbury. The story was reprinted in the Gold Key Walt Disney Comics Digest #57 from February 1, 1976. Price: 69¢.






Also included in the Comics Digest was a Snow White Wishing Well game.

In the previous post, we saw the individual Disneyland Magazine issues released in the US that featured Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs on the covers. Today we'll look at the comics. Inside every Disneyland Magazine that I've come across, there has been a Snow White comic. Here's a few examples.

In yesterday's post, we saw the Snow White cover art from Disneyland Magazine published in the Netherlands. Some of that same artwork was also used for the covers of the magazines printed in other countries, although there are differences too.

In the US, the periodical was issued by Fawcett Publications, Incorporated. Disneyland Magazine for Young Readers was a full-color weekly periodical released every Tuesday from 1972-74. Each edition contained 20 pages (including covers). Dimensions: 12.5" x 10.25". Original price: 35¢. As the title suggests, inside were comics and stories for beginner-level readers. The attractive wrap-around cover artwork featured a wide variety of Disney characters. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs made it onto quite a few of them. It's interesting to note that the princess appeared on the back cover almost as many times as on the front.

Here are the US Snow White covers that we've come across:

#1 - Cinderella and Prince Charming take center stage as Snow, the dwarfs, and others look on.



#2 - Snow and the dwarfs watch as other Disney characters enjoy a swing ride.



#10 - On the back cover: the dwarfs march up the trail; front: Snow White is surrounded by forest animals.
