The Little Mermaid Magazine
[edit]This article is about the British children’s magazine series. For a list of printed adaptations, see The Little Mermaid (franchise).
The Little Mermaid Magazine was a British children’s comic published by Fleetway Publications between 1994 and 1997. It featured stories about Ariel and related characters, as well as activity pages, adverts to other Disney media, and free gifts.
Format and publication history
[edit]The magazine was published monthly in the UK. The magazine generally contained threeomic strip stories, each usually following different storylines but with occasional repeated characters or references to earlier stories. The first few issues reused comic strips from the Disney Comics four-issue "The Little Mermaid Limited Series" comic series and the two-issue "Sebastian from The Little Mermaid" comics from 1992.
The original price for The Little Mermaid Magazine was 90 pence, but incrementally increased over the magazine’s lifespan, and reached the price of £1.20 by 1997.
The different stories contained within an issue would not link directly with each other, and would be separated by activities such as join-the-dot, colouring-in pages, and posters.
Publishing
[edit]In 1994, the magazine was published by Fleetway Editions, previously known as Fleetway Publications. Egmont UK had acquired Fleetway in 1991, to form Fleetway Editions. Fleetway also published the children’s comics Sonic the Comic and Transformers: Generation 2. By 1997, the publication information in the magazine had changed to Egmont Fleetway Ltd.
It is uncertain when the publication of the magazine ended. By February 1997, it had reached issue 29. Egmont publishing would launch the popular Disney Princess Magazine in 1998, which is still in publication.[1] Some examples of covers have been uploaded to personal blogs.[2]
Distribution
[edit]Early issues of the magazine stated on the cover, usually in the free gift space, that they were not available to overseas readers. However, later editions in 1996 listed both a UK price in pence and an Australian price in Australian dollars.
