WEBTOON Entertainment is joining forces with Disney to bring some of the world’s most beloved comics to its popular vertical-scroll platform. The partnership will feature around 100 titles from Disney, Marvel, 20th Century Studios, and Star Wars, all reformatted for WEBTOON’s mobile-friendly reading experience. These titles will be available worldwide in a special section of the English-language app, letting fans enjoy iconic stories anytime, anywhere.
This isn’t the first collaboration with comics publishers and WEBTOON, far from it. From DC Comics to Dark Horse, the webcomics portal is growing exponentially, with Marvel added to the mix.
The collaboration goes beyond reformatting classics; original webcomic series based on Disney, Marvel, 20th Century Studios, and Star Wars properties are also in the works. These new stories will deliver fresh adventures for fan-favorite characters, from superhero sagas to intergalactic epics, tailored for mobile reading.
At launch, readers will be able to dive into free episodes of series like Amazing Spider-Man (2022–present), Avengers (2012), Star Wars (2015), Alien (2021), and Disney As Old As Time: A Twisted Tale. Additional episodes can be unlocked using WEBTOON Coins.
“This is just the start,” said Yongsoo Kim, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global WEBTOON. “We’re introducing legendary storytelling to a new generation of mobile-native comic fans while giving longtime readers a fresh way to enjoy their favorite series.”
Daniel Fink, SVP and Head of Digital Innovation for Disney Consumer Products, added, “Partnering with WEBTOON allows us to expand our universes on a top-tier digital platform, reaching a dedicated global audience while inviting new fans to experience Disney storytelling in an exciting, lasting way.”
Fans can download the WEBTOON app and follow WEBTOON on X and Instagram for updates.
