In August, Disney Magazine Publishing was reorganized into three divisions, each headed by a vice president/group publisher: Disney Family Magazines, Disney Kids Magazines, and Disney Special Interest Magazines. In March 1995, with the market too crowded with Disney books, DPG merged Hyperion Books for Children with the Disney Press units. In June, Lynton left his position as senior vice president of DPG to become president of Disney's Hollywood Pictures. By April, the Magazine Group agreed with Ziff-Davis Publishing Company to a joint venture publication, Family PC, to be launched in September. In 1994, DPG launched the Mouse Works and Fun Works divisions in February and November, respectively, in order to publish interactive children books. The Disney Publishing Group (DPG) was incorporated in January 1992, and included the already formed Hyperion Books, Hyperion Books for Children, Disney Press and its units. In 1991, Disney Publishing purchased Discover magazine from Family Media, placing it within its Magazine Group and purchased the FamilyFun Magazine after its second issue from Jake Winebaum. That same year, Disney began publishing Disney Adventures. Through Walt Disney Publications, Inc., Disney Publishing launched Disney Comics in the United States.
This led Michael Lynton, the Disney Consumer Products business development director, to start up its own Magazine Group with the similarly outlaid Disney Adventures. In 1990, Disney Consumer Products discontinued its license for Topolino, an Italian Mickey Mouse magazine. It has creative centers in Glendale, California, and in Milan, Italy. Its imprints include Disney Editions, Disney Press, Kingswell, Freeform, and Hyperion Books for Children. Disney Publishing Worldwide ( DPW), formerly known as The Disney Publishing Group and Buena Vista Publishing Group, is the publishing subsidiary of Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company.
