Marvel - Help Finding Something
🕑 Added 2020-06-04 19:04:18 +0000 UTCI'm working on a video about Marvel. I'm thinking it'll highlight some of the major rises and falls throughout their history. Probably their biggest fall resulted in their 1996 bankruptcy. I have a grasp of the story of what happened but can't seem to find the numbers to support it.
I'm looking for their 10-K reports from the early 90's. The ones from the original Marvel, not Toy Biz who later took over. They were a public company from 1991-1996 so I know they exist. It looks like they did some creative thing where they presented them like a comic book, which is clogging up the search. It would be really helpful if someone could find them so I could put together graphs for their revenue, profits, and debt. Or if you could somehow find any of those figures another way that's reliable, that'd be great too.

That's exactly what I'm finding. The reports are usually easy enough to find but I think it's less available here because they made it into a comic that's being sold. Maybe there's some kind of copyright protection over it because of that. I may just have make the video without the exact numbers.

It looks like there were 5 issues of the Marvel Annual Report comic (1991-1995) along with some quarterly report issues. I haven’t had any luck finding scans of the 1995 issue that include the financials section. I’m just finding copies of the comic for sale on places like eBay.

Appreciate it. I have the 1993 one, so I'm thinking just the 1995 or 1996 one should be enough if you happen to be able to access them.

That's perfect Brian! If I could get 1996 or 1995 that should be enough to display what I'm talking about.

Here is the Marvel Annual Report comic for 1993. https://tinyurl.com/y7koshfh

Let me look around to see what databases I have access to. I need to double check with a few people.
