[ENGLISH] BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. – POW Entertainment, Inc. (Pink Sheets:POWN) announces a new book by Stan Lee. When superhero creator Stan Lee releases his new book of political humor, the expression \u201cSuper Tuesday\u201d will take on a whole new meaning. The name Stan Lee\u00a0is usually synonymous with the famed Marvel Comics characters he co-created, such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Hulk, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men and many others.<\/p>\n

Yet, many people don\u2019t know that Lee has a soft spot for writing humor and he\u2019s showcasing his gag-writing skills with the release of his new book, \u201cElection Daze.\u201d The book features his irrepressible, wildly funny dialogue balloons which accompany eye-catching photos by Capitol Hill photographer, Lauren Victoria Burke.<\/p>\n
The subjects of the photos range from Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain, and President Bush, to political celebrities such as George Clooney, Chuck Norris, and Stephen Colbert among others. \u201cI\u2019ve always gotten a kick out of combining far-out captions with serious pictures,\u201d says Lee. \u201cIt\u2019s a great change of pace from writing fantasy tales, although sometimes politics seems more like fantasy than my own stories.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stan Lee first published a book of photo humor back in 1961 called \u201cGolfer\u2019s Anonymous.\u201d The golf-themed book utilized the same formula–humorous dialogue and captions, with photos of people on the links. Fans everywhere gobbled it up and it quickly sold out its entire run. Lee recalls that he was so busy writing his superhero stories at that time that he never got around to following it up with similar books.<\/p>\n
However, at a recent comic book convention where Stan was making a guest appearance, a fan asked him to autograph an old, carefully preserved copy of \u201cGolfers Anonymous.\u201d Lee was happy to comply. \u201cI had almost forgotten about that book. But, seeing it after all those years made me wonder if this wouldn\u2019t be the perfect time to write a similar book, but this time zeroing in on the political campaign that\u2019s on everyone\u2019s lips.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stan mentioned his idea to publisher Tom Filsinger who enthusiastically agreed that this was the right time and the right market for such a book. \u201cI loved the idea,\u201d said Filsinger, aware that political personalities are particularly ripe for Lee\u2019s offbeat type of humor.<\/p>\n
\u201cElection Daze\u201d focuses on what politicians and celebrities \u201cmight have been saying\u201d from the beginning of the presidential primaries and beyond. \u201cStan\u2019s book will turn out to be a perfect keepsake for this historic election year,\u201d said Filsinger.<\/p>\n
The success of \u201cElection Daze\u201d will undoubtedly lead to the publication of an entire new series of Stan Lee\u2019s books of photo humor. \u201cThey\u2019ll deal with everything people are interested in–sports, music, movies, TV, and celebrities of every type. And that\u2019s just for starters!\u201d says an ebullient Lee.<\/p>\n
So the man best known for superhero icons such as Spider-Man, now adds humor books to his amazing list of published works as he adds, with a smile, \u201cAfter years of writing stories to keep readers on the edge of their seats, it\u2019s fun to write a book that\u2019ll make them kick back with laughter.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cElection Daze,\u201d which is available for pre-order on the Internet, is scheduled to arrive in bookstores like Barnes & Noble at the end of March. Stan Lee, ever the busy author and creator, is making several appearances that will coincide with the release of the book, including the New York Comic Con on April 18-20, Borders in Washington, D.C. on April 21, and BookExpo America in Los Angeles at the end of May.<\/p>\n
