CULT CLASSIC TRON RETURNS AS A COMIC BOOK SERIES

88 MPH Studios and Disney Publishing Worldwide Will Release the First Four-Part Series Winter 2003

Quebec City, Canada, June 25, 2003 - 88 MPH Studios, Inc. and Disney Publishing Worldwide today announced the introduction of a new Tron comic book series based on the groundbreaking 1982 cult movie. The first four-part mini-series will be available in comic book stores in the United States and Canada this winter.

The series comes on the heels of the new Tron state-of-the-art computer game, Tron 2.0, to be released this August through Buena Vista Games. 88 MPH Studios will be responsible for developing comic books based on both the original movie and the new game.

The Tron comic book will follow the adventures of Jet Bradley, son of the movie's Alan Bradley, as he explores the Tron universe and comes to terms with living a dual life. In the real world, he's just a normal 20-year-old; in the digital world, he's a hero. Along the way, Jet will fight rogue programs, deadly viruses and other cyber-threats.

This first comic mini-series will be based on the Tron 2.0 computer game universe, which is set 20 years after the movie and promises intense action and breathtaking adventures in a digital world. The second series, to be launched in Spring 2004, will go back 20 years in the past to explore the original Tron universe.

Each full color, standard 22-page comic will be released on a monthly basis.

The 1982 Tron film centered around Kevin Flynn, a computer genius who gets sucked into the electronic world of a super-computer to battle the evil dictator, Master Control. Starring Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan and David Warner, Tron pioneered the use of computer-generated graphics in movies.
