PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 22, 2007
NAVARRE’S BCI INTRODUCES THE
LAST 32 EPISODES OF THE CLASSIC
ANIMATED SERIES
"DEFENDERS OF THE EARTH"
Volume Two
Available in Five-Disc Set on April 3rd For $34.98
Los Angeles, CA Experience the climactic conclusion of the iconic “Defenders of the Earth,” the animated series originally created by Marvel Productions. BCI Eclipse, A Navarre Corporation Company, and Hearst Entertainment, are proud to announce the final DVD release of “Defenders of the Earth: Volume Two,” will be available April 3rd at a suggested retail price of $34.98. The five-disc set featuring the last 32 episodes of the series will be released under BCI’s Ink & Paint brand.
“Defenders of the Earth” features Flash Gordon, who was created for comic strips in 1934 by Alex Raymond. Soon launched into Hollywood and beyond, Flash Gordon became one of the most popular and well-known space heroes ever created. The Phantom debuted in 1936 from creator Lee Falk, and the purple-clad "Ghost Who Walks" has been published worldwide ever since, as well as starring in feature films and animation. Mandrake the Magician (with sidekick Lothar) debuted in 1934, also the creation of Lee Falk, and his suave adventures were translated into film, radio, and a stage musical. When the quartet of heroes was united in the 1986 series by Marvel Productions — the creative minds behind Spider-Man, the Hulk, and X-Men — the result was “Defenders of the Earth.” Over the course of 65 syndicated episodes, the series led to a 1987 comic book adaptation published by Marvel, a line of books, and a popular toy line from Galoob.
An abundance of special features will include:
* Interviews with the creators including Bryce Malek, David Wise and Michael Swanigan
