Recently we
reported about Morningstar Entertainment's upcoming (June 10th) release in Canada of
The Incredible Hulk - When Monsters Meet. This will be their second DVD version of a previously-released-on-VHS title with Marvel superheroes; the first is their May 6th release of
Spider-Man - The Mutant Agenda.
A key difference between those two items is that the Hulk title was part of the old Prism Video
"Marvel Comics Video Library", the 5th title in that old VHS line-up of cartoons featuring episodes from old animated series featuring Marvel super-heroes. Now Morningstar has given us word to expect 8 further DVD releases adapted from that old VHS lineup!
One of the titles will be the 12th volume from that videotape series:
The Vulture. It contains an episode from the 1981 version of
Spider-Man called "The Vulture Has Landed". The DVD release, like the VHS version, will have bonus episodes from other shows. In this case,
Spider-Man - The Vulture will contain two bonus cartoons from the 1967 edition of
Spider-Man: "The Vulture's Prey" and "The Dark Terrors".
In addition, two more episodes of the 1981 series will be included as bonus episodes on other releases: "Cannon of Doom" will be found on
The New Fantastic Four - Meet Doctor Doom, and "Arsenic and Aunt May" will be an extra on
The Marvel Superheroes - The Red Skull.
Don't forget, these are all aimed for sale at Canadian retailers, but will work in any standard DVD player in the USA if you import it. The cost, like on the previously announced
Spider-Man and
Hulk DVDs, is expected to be CA$14.98 SRP. A release date for these upcoming releases has not yet been announced, but stay tuned and we'll provide it, and finalized full-sized art, as soon as we can. In the meantime, below you'll see a look at possible cover art for all eight of the as-yet unannounced titles:
