Disney Press

Hyperion Books for Children

Hyperion Books for Children (HBC) and Disney Press were both launched in 1990. The Disney Publishing Group was incorporated in January 1992 and included the already-formed Hyperion Books, Hyperion Avenue Books, Hyperion Books for Children, Disney Press, and other units. In March 1995 with the market too crowded with Disney books, Hyperion Books for Children merged with Disney Press. Hyperion Books for Children started a new imprint, Jump at the Sun, in September 1998 for the African-American children's market. DPW slated the Abadazad four-book series from its CrossGen property for publication after purchasing the CrossGen assets under this imprint.
