Stan’s Back – A Comic Book Industry Event Revealed!
March 2nd, 2010 – Los Angeles, CA –
POW! Entertainment and BOOM! Studios announced a deal has been struck
that will see the production of a series of three superhero titles
presented by Stan Lee. These series will premiere from BOOM! Studios
later this year.
BOOM!’s Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid,
creator of BOOM!’s runaway hit series IRREDEEMABLE and its smash sister
book INCORRUPTIBLE, will be writing one of the series. Two other series
will follow, featuring A-list writers as a part of the creative team.
Further announcements will clarify the teams and the timing for the
roll-out.
This past December, POW! announced that Walt Disney Studios
had entered into a first-look deal with POW! and currently has a number
of projects in development where it is working closely with the
world-renowned Lee.
The revelation of Stan Lee’s presenting a series of three superhero titles at BOOM! follows on the heels of a viral marketing campaign announcing "Stan’s Back" that hit the internet early last week. Across major comic book news sites
and blogs last week, ads appeared teasing "Stan’s Back." The L.A.
Times’ Hero Complex & L.A. Times’ Brand-X also got in on the
action, running the "Stan’s Back" campaign in print and on their
respective website. All the banner ads linked back to www.stansback.com, a site which had only the "Stan’s Back" logo and nothing else disclosing additional information.
For one week, the internet was in a
frenzy with comic fans everywhere trying to figure out what could the
"Stan’s Back" teaser campaign mean. Today it has finally been revealed
– Stan Lee is back, presenting a comic book series for the Direct Market comic specialty market that Lee was instrumental in fostering.
POW! Entertainment and BOOM! Studios had no further details at this time. More forthcoming.
