    The press at the time noted not the comic books, but the 5000 characters Marvel owned

    never mind of course that those characters would have been nothing if not for the comics

    Quoth NBC News, August 31, 2009:

    "Marvel would follow another storied comic book publisher into the arms of a media conglomerate. DC Comics, the home of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, was bought by Warner Bros. — now part of Time Warner Inc. — in 1969."

    Uh, no

    Kinney bought DC in 1967, and Warner Bros.-Seven Arts in 1969

    does the price of a single share, outside of context of market cap or previous price, have any actual meaning to it

    Not really, but Disney's overpayment was comprised of 0.745 Disney shares, in addition to $30, paid for every Marvel share...
