POW! Gives Superhero Kick to Christmas

POW! Ent. Inc. has announced that it is developing an annual TV Christmas special based on the popular new children's book, STAN LEE'S SUPERHERO CHRISTMAS, published by Harper Collins. The company further anticipates the production of a DVD during the 4th quarter of 2005 to complement the animated annual specials.

Stan Lee, cco of POW!, said, "While I had always written my stories of Spider-Man, the X-Men and all the other heroes for readers of every age, this is the first time I've done a fantasy tale specifically for very young children. I'm thrilled that Harper Collins has published it in such a beautifully illustrated hard cover edition and equally thrilled that STAN LEE'S SUPERHERO CHRISTMAS has been meeting such an enthusiastic response from parents and children alike."

"The success of this unique book is enabling POW! to introduce and perpetuate Stan's brand to a whole new, younger generation, said Gill Champion, COO. The book adds a welcome new link to our many other valuable franchises which skew to an older market of established Stan Lee fans, worldwide. It's fortunate for us that Stan's brand of story-telling is so widely popular in all forms of publishing, as well as in movies, TV and DVDs.

POW! (Purveyors of Wonder) Ent. Inc. is founded by world famous comic book icon Stan Lee, together with Gill Champion and Arthur Lieberman. POW's principals, combined, have more than 100 years experience creating, producing and licensing original intellectual properties. POW! will specialize in franchises for the entertainment industry, including animation and live-action feature films, plus television, DVDs, videogames, merchandising and related ancillary markets, all of which aid in the establishment of global franchises.
