 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Walt Disney Company
In 1928, Disney asked Charles Mintz (Winkler's husband, who was by then running her business) for a budget increase, but Mintz had what he thought was a better idea.
Disney must accept a cut in his budget, or Mintz would assign Oswald (which the distributor legally controlled) to another studio — and he'd already secured agreements from most of Disney's key employees to man it.
Disney was the first to embrace the new technology, which he did with the third Mickey cartoon, Steamboat Willie (1928), and the effect was little short of electrifying.

 IGN: Disney Comics Return!
In the years since, comic books have disappeared from newsstands, and are now found almost primarily in comic book stores – a definite stumbling block when it comes to exposing new readers to comics.
Of course, we've got the comic stores, and we actually have a thing called the comic shop locater service, which makes someone put in their ZIP code and find the nearest comic stores.
So if we hit all three channels of distribution: the comic book stores, the newsstands/mass market retailers, the book stores – those three areas are primarily where you're going to have saturation, and so, in effect, we get some national coverage, people go on IGN or wherever and hear about it...

There are more Disney comics coming, but this time, from a publisher few, if any, would’ve picked out of a lineup as potential suitors for the company that Walt and Mickey built.
We’re going to be playing with the look that was established by Disney for Wonderland in the film, and we’ll be playing, largely, with the same characters from the film, which are essentially the same characters from the novels, but we’re sticking with the same feel that the film brought across.
Based on my experiences, Disney is going to be supporting our efforts with these comics a little more aggressively than they would be with other licensees.

Disney originally came to me about something else that, ultimately, we couldn’t get done, but I maintained a cordial relationship with the people who contacted us,” Vado told Newsarama.
Initially, Vado wrote a pitch for three series, with Disney suggesting Gargoyles, as Greg Weisman, creator of the animated series had expressed an interest to Disney in continuing the storylines he’d begun, and the blossoming SLG deal seemed to be the perfect fit.
In regards to branding, Vado said that (going hand in hand with his comments about Disney looking at these titles to appeal to a teen market) the four series probably won’t prominently carry the Disney logo on their covers.
