Heroes World Distribution Co., originally named Superhero Enterprises, was an American comic book distributor. It was founded by Ivan Snyder, active from 1975 to 1997, during the growth and consolidation of the direct market. Heroes World was acquired by Marvel Comics in late 1994 to act as the publisher's sole distributor. This ill-fated move, combined with other marketplace factors of the time, resulted in the financial failure of many other comics distributors and retailers — and the near collapse of the entire North American comic book market.

  • Heroes World Distribution Co., auparavant nommé Superhero Enterprises, était une entreprise de distribution de comic books américaine. Elle a été fondée par Ivan Snyder et a duré de 1975 à 1997 alors que les magasins spécialisés se développaien. Fin 1994 Marvel Comics achète Heroes World qui devient son seul distributeur. Cette décision se révèle très mauvaise pour Marvel qui a de grandes difficultés à gérer ce système de distributeur unique, pour les autres sociétés de distribution et pour les vendeurs de comics. Associé à d'autres évènements durant cette période, cela entraîne de nombreuses faillites et menace l'entièreté du modèle de production et de distribution des comics aux États-Unis. (fr)
