San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 20, 2007

For Paul McCartney, being a member of the Beatles and arriving on America soil to a fan base and cultural mania never repeated to this day, the most important question was never how many records sold.

History certainly has one side of the story, but for Paul’s side the rest of us will have to read his interview in the July/August issue of Risen Magazine, on sale at Barnes & Noble bookstores on July 23rd. The issue is full of revelations about three of the icons of a time that helped shape America’s consciousness in the 1960′s: Paul McCartney, Peter Max and Stan Lee take a look at the legacy they’ve created.

The July/August issue of Risen Magazine, Risen Magazine Paul McCartney Issue is resplendent with memories of the famous journey lived by some and raises an important inquiry for those artists first their own passage to immortality.

You’ll have to read the interview to see if these superheroes are feeling lucky.

Stan Woodardâ??s video, â??The Afro Asian Action Figure Meets the Juju Stickâ?, examines how a totemic object, The Juju Stick, can transform a representation, The Afro Asian Action Figure, into an actual human. The two works featured in the video started with common toys and each make guesses as to how these things might be interpreted by future civilizations longing for a legendary past.

â??The rhythms created by the post-civilization device transforms the prototype for the comprehensive chimera into a dwelling, taking a breath being, aesthetic and delighted to be cognisant.â? Imagery in the video implies a Pygmalion type relationship between the bearer of the stick and the figure, the outcome being a living, breathing woman

For â??Juju Stickâ? a toy drum machine was dismantled and its working parts tied to weathered machined wood. The stick can be conceived of in the hands of the nga nga, or tribal spiritualist, urging on devotees to worship through song and dance. â??The Afro Asian Action Figure (prototype)â? is the cold human-dragon chimera; an intermixing of the image of the muscular dark woman and the acceptable fortune of the Chinese Dragon. The dragon head is a mask espoused by the female to display a ferocity that she is not let under her personal guise. The mask is obviously tied to her, so that no mistake can be made that it is not part of her, but an affectation

â??The pop nature of the elements of these pieces leads to an apparent humor, but the underlying idea of a gloomy and noncivilised future is what really drives the work. Past assumptions of what futurism means are being gradually supplanted by images of devastation â?? devastation created by the careless technologies utilised by humans or devastation created by weapons utilised to unmake what our civilization has wrought.â? Stan Woodard

‘d’Afrique d’Asie’ in Hong Kong is a video exhibition postdating a 2005 show at Ethan Cohen Fine Arts in New York. Artists had in the Hong Kong show are: Sanford Biggers, Clifford Owens, Young W. Lee, Ed Wong, Stan Woodard, and Saya Woolfalk

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) March 26, 2006

“The best movies in the world started out as words on a page” exclaims Hollywood comic icon Stan Lee in a new radio PSA with Canadian music personality Raoul Juneja (a.k.a. Deejay Ra), recorded as a spin-off to Juneja’s claped HipHop Literacy’ campaign

In addition to helping create many of the world’s beloved comic characters such as ‘The Incredible Hulk’ and ‘Wolverine’, Lee has often been praised for incorporating issues of education and multi-culturalism into his comic storylines

In 1971, Lee also helped amend the US Comics Code to begin addressing previously banned comic storylines such as drug use amongst students, in the hopes Lee’s most popular character SpiderMan could inspire dialogue between millions of youth readers and their parents about relevant safety and social issues of the time

No stranger to the silver screen, numerous Stan Lee comic storylines have even been adapted into chart-topping feature films. Hollywood heavyweights who have asterisked as cinema versions of Lee’s characters admit Wesley Snipes in “Blade”, Halle Berry in “X-Men”, Kirsten Dunst in “Spider-Man”, Eric Bana in “The Hulk”, and most recently Jessica Alba in “The Fantastic Four”

Following a cameo appearance in award-winning director Kevin Smith’s 1995 “Mallrats” comedy, Lee was also interviewed by Smith for their “Stan Lee’s Mutants, Monsters & Marvels” 2002 documentary. Lee printed his autobiography “Excelsior!” the same year

Juneja’s HipHop Literacy’ campaign was launched early 2004 with the support of “Get Shorty” author Elmore Leonard. Additional radio PSAs of Juneja’s feature “Kill Bill” actor Michael Madsen, “Ali” actor Giancarlo Esposito, and rapper actor Sticky Fingaz among others, boosting movie and music themed books to students apathetic in scanning as alternative literacy evolving methods

In two new works, â??Juju Stickâ? and â??The Afro Asian Action Figure (prototype)â?, Stan Woodard continues his method of combining elements of societal debris to create new objects with new meanings. For each of these works the artist started with toys common to our millennial culture, and makes guesses as to how these things might be interpreted by future civilizations longing for a legendary past.

For â??Juju Stickâ? a toy drum machine was dismantled and its working parts attached to weathered machined wood. The stick can be imagined in the hands of the nga nga, or tribal spiritualist, exhorting devotees to worship through song and dance. â??The Afro Asian Action Figure (prototype)â? is the perfect human-dragon chimera; a blending of the image of the powerful black woman and the good fortune of the Chinese Dragon. The dragon head is a mask adopted by the female to display a ferocity that she is not allowed under her own guise. The mask is obviously tied to her, so that no mistake can be made that it is not part of her, but an affectation.

â??The pop nature of the elements of these pieces leads to an obvious humor, but the underlying idea of a dark and primitive future is what really drives the work. Past assumptions of what futurism means are being gradually replaced by images of devastation â?? devastation created by the reckless technologies employed by humans or devastation created by weapons employed to undo what our civilization has wrought.â? Stan Woodard

Artists exhibiting in â??d’Afrique d’Asie” are: Mequita Ahura, Sanford Biggers, iona rozeal brown, Young W. Lee, Mustafa Maluka, Navin Norling, Clifford Owens, Tomiko Pilson, Shinique Smith, Bernard Williams, Stan Woodard, Saya Woolfalk.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) February 16, 2006

POW! Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets: POWN) announced today that it is well on its way to becoming a major content provider for the Entertainment Industry. POW! has already developed a substantial portfolio of over 40 new Stan Lee projects that are currently in various stages of development with entertainment giants like Robert Evans, Paramount, IDT (Condor and Mosaic), Ringo Starr, MTV, Hugh Hefner, Cheyenne Enterprises, SciFi Channel, New Line, VIBE, Jeff Franklin (Stuart Little), Michelle Rodriguez (now appearing in the ABC’s “Lost”), the reality show producer Bruce Nash (For Love or Money, Meet My Folks), JJ Armes, Cinder Block, The Jim Henson Company, Valcom, Vidiator, Market China Inc., Celebrities in Action, and more. (The term “development” can include all the activities required between the inception of the idea for a project through its ultimate production and release) Additionally, Stan Lee has conceived and materialized scores of original story ideas for POW!.

POW! has attracted the attention of major motion picture studios, television networks, animation studios, “A-list” actors, directors, producers and writers along with publishers, video gaming and telecommunication giants, all of whom are vying for unique content with broad appeal. The word is out that POW!’s prolific founder Stan Lee has been creating at an unprecedented rate and this past year has been extremely productive. POW! has entered into numerous multi-layered negotiations and deals with members of the top echelon of the Entertainment Industry for the licensing rights to develop and produce a multitude of POW!’s exclusive Stan Lee creations.

POW! concurrently is staying on the cutting edge of technology and is not only utilizing traditional entertainment platforms for its properties but has also inked a deal to provide content for worldwide cellular phone applications via a new channel that is called “Stan Lee’s POW! Mobile”.

POW!’s various projects ranging in scope from animated to live action, include feature films, feature-length DVDs, TV series, Video Games, Mobisodes, Webisodes, and a reality show pilot.

Since POW!’s inception, the Company has essentially been concentrating on building a library of properties consisting of both original Stan Lee creations and Stan Lee co-creations with other top talent. The POW! model is structured so that as each property is produced and subsequently released, the Company is positioned to generate revenues from licensing, not unlike an annuity, in perpetuity. To date, POW! has built up a large portfolio of proprietary intellectual properties. We are not only very pleased with the quantity but we feel the quality surpasses many of Stan’s stellar earlier works.

While Stan Lee, in conjunction with other top talent, continues creating a flow of new and exciting superhero adventures, POW! with its strategic partners, is engaged in finalizing the production of the projects currently in the pipeline. POW! now has reached the critical mass of material which we felt was needed in order to have enough product to begin a systematic and steady stream of releases. POW!’s goal, now that it has a foundational portfolio of original Stan Lee material, is to continue the creative process utilizing additional top talent to develop these franchises sufficiently to insure product availability for the future. POW! is not limiting itself to just traditional platforms for its brand, but plans to develop and distribute across all platforms and in all geographies while Stan, as only he can, will continue creating new and exciting basic treatments for additional POW! franchises.

To date, Stan Lee and his team of talented artisans have done a brilliant job for POW!. They have created a plethora of first rate characters that we believe are diversified enough to generate broad appeal across multiple demographics, but at the same time have their own unique identities in today’s competitive market place. If you were impressed with any of Stan Lee’s earlier co-creations like Spider-Man®(1), The Incredible Hulk®(1), X-Men®(1), The Fantastic Four®(1), Iron Man®(1), Daredevil®(1), Silver Surfer®(1) and Dr. Strange®(1), for Marvel, you should be thoroughly ecstatic as POW! releases Stan Lee’s newest cast of innovative and contemporary superheroes.

POW!’s Chief Operating Officer and award winning producer Gill Champion states, “As 2006 begins to materialize, I am pleased to let our shareholders know that Stan Lee’s new POW! Entertainment superheroes have been enthusiastically received and alliances are forming for their anticipated successful exploitation into the broad consumer based markets. POW! is focused on developing complete franchises for each property by utilizing multiple venues uniquely oriented across all platforms to improve and maximize our margins. From my 25-plus years of executive experience in global entertainment, marketing, retail and licensing, I see that there are several factors that give POW!’s new projects an advantage over competitive projects; First is Stan Lee’s undisputed track record of having created or co-created many of the most successful character franchises of our time. Secondly, Stan Lee’s unique talent and ability to create popular and enduring characters has amassed a Stan Lee fan base numbering into the tens of millions. This enormous fan base possesses a tremendous pent-up demand for new Stan Lee releases and POW! Entertainment now has them. Thirdly, POW!’s strategy, when feasible, includes combining Stan Lee’s popularity with a variety of “A-List” actors, writers, directors and producers to further enhance POW!’s projects. Thus far, Stan Lee’s reputation and track record have resulted in POW! attracting a number of major talents to participate in POW’s current projects. Finally, Stan Lee, who is credited with the title “Father of the Modern Day Superhero”, has continually created characters that have gone on to become extremely successful “franchises” (i.e. they lend themselves to sequels, licensing to other media, to merchandising and to other ancillary opportunities.). These factors among others increase POW!’s ability to secure distribution and production partnerships with major studios and to obtain investor participation if needed.”

2005 was a foundational building year for POW! and we are now poised to begin decades of production with subsequent releases from our portfolio of proprietary properties which we feel will ultimately become known as “The Best of Stan Lee”.

Stan Lee Sued To Enforce Assignment of all of His Creative Rights to Stan Lee Media

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 6, 2009

Spider Man creator Stan Lee was named as a defendant in a new Stan Lee Media shareholder suit filed by Jose Abadin in Los Angeles Federal Court on Friday, April 3, 2009, Case #CV09-2340 SUW.

Abadin’s suit, on behalf of all Stan Lee Media Inc shareholders, followed Federal Judge Stephen Wilson’s notification to the United States Copyright Office of his ruling that Stan Lee, and his public company POW Entertainment (POWN:BB) illegally assigned copyrights on the Stan Lee Media characters The Drifter and Accuser to POW Entertainment in 2006. (see attachments, court case #s CV 07-225-SVW and 07-4438-SVW).

These contested creations have been the basis of various highly publicized licensing and joint venture deals between Stan Lee’s POW Entertainment and Sprint Mobil, Starz Entertainment and a division of Liberty Media.

Jose Abadin, a Los Angeles based investment banker and stock broker, has been a substantial investor in Stan Lee Media since 1999, when the investment banking firm he was associated with provided multi-million dollar venture funding to Stan Lee Media.

The suit requests judicial enforcement of, and damages for the violation of Stan Lee Media’s rights under Stan Lee’s October 1998 Employment and Rights Assignment Agreement in which Lee assigned everything he owned “in the creative universe,” including his name, to capitalize the dot com Stan Lee founded in 1998, Stan Lee Media Inc of Colorado.

In a related federal suit filed in New York (Case # 07 Civ. 2238) on behalf of Stan Lee Media shareholders, Lee and Marvel Entertainment are being sued to obtain Stan Lee’s co-creator’s profits to Lee’s “world famous creations” for Marvel including Spider Man, Ironman and X-Men. These rights are alleged to have been included in Lee’s universal rights assignment to Stan Lee Media. (see attached).
