House had previously acquired Dell Publishing though a series of mergers since 1976, effectively reuniting the remnants Gold Key Comics and Dell Comics. On July 23, 2012, Classic Media was acquired by DreamWorks Animation for $155million (equivalent to $ million in ) and renamed DreamWorks Classics. On July 1, 2013, Random House merged with the Penguin Group, forming a new company called Penguin Random House. In April 2016, the acquisition of DreamWorks Animation (owner of DreamWorks Classics) by NBCUniversal was announced. In 2021, comics creator and hacker Robert Willis obtained the trademark. Later that year the trademark was purchased by the newly-formed Gold Key Entertainment LLC. The new ownership consists of comic book enthusiasts Lance Linderman, Adam Brooks, Mike Dynes, and Arnold Guerrero. Gold Key Entertainment is currently working with creators to produce new titles as well as reviving some familiar titles, all staying true to the classic Gold Key aesthetic.
