| | BUZZSCOPE :: Marvel Announces Prose Imprint (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21) |
 | | Marvel has hired seven-year veteran of children’s and young adult publishing, Ruwan Jayatilleke, formerly of Scholastic, to head Marvel Press and oversee its aggressive launch list with three prose novels scheduled for 2004 and a minimum of 12 for 2005. |
 | | Marvel Press is an exciting new way for us to do this, and we are enormously happy to have Ruwan on board to lead the way,” said Dan Buckley, Publisher. |
 | | While prose novels are not new to Marvel Publishing (in 2003, Marvel produced Mary Jane, a critically acclaimed young adult novel focusing on Mary Jane Watson, the long time love interest of Spider-Man’s Peter Parker), the creation of Marvel Press takes this initiative to the next level. |
