Comic Book Icon Stan Lee Takes Aim at Political Humor in New Book
With the release of "Election Daze," Lee returns to his humor roots
POW Entertainment, Inc. (OTC: POWN) announces a new book by Stan Lee. When superhero creator Stan Lee releases his new book of political humor, the expression “Super Tuesday” will take on a whole new meaning.
The name Stan Lee is 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.
Yet, many people don’t know that Lee has a soft spot for writing humor and he’s showcasing his gag-writing skills with the release of his new book, “Election Daze.” The book features his irrepressible, wildly funny dialogue balloons which accompany eye-catching photos by Capitol Hill photographer, Lauren Victoria Burke.
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. “I’ve always gotten a kick out of combining far-out captions with serious pictures,” says Lee. “It’s a great change of pace from writing fantasy tales, although sometimes politics seems more like fantasy than my own stories.”
Stan Lee first published a book of photo humor back in 1961 called “Golfer’s Anonymous.” 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.
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 “Golfers Anonymous.” Lee was happy to comply. “I had almost forgotten about that book. But, seeing it after all those years made me wonder if this wouldn’t be the perfect time to write a similar book, but this time zeroing in on the political campaign that’s on everyone’s lips.”
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. “I loved the idea,” said Filsinger, aware that political personalities are particularly ripe for Lee’s offbeat type of humor.
“Election Daze” focuses on what politicians and celebrities “might have been saying” from the beginning of the presidential primaries and beyond. “Stan’s book will turn out to be a perfect keepsake for this historic election year,” said Filsinger.
The success of “Election Daze” will undoubtedly lead to the publication of an entire new series of Stan Lee’s books of photo humor. “They’ll deal with everything people are interested in — sports, music, movies, TV, and celebrities of every type. And that’s just for starters!” says an ebullient Lee.
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, “After years of writing stories to keep readers on the edge of their seats, it’s fun to write a book that’ll make them kick back with laughter.”
“Election Daze,” 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.

One Deal Could Potentially Generate in Excess of $25 Million in Research, Milestone and Royalty Payments
Exelgen, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc. (NASD: CBTE) (CBI) and a leading provider of drug discovery chemistry services and small molecule products, announced today that it has entered into two new drug discovery collaborations: one with a leading US pharmaceutical company and one with a major European pharmaceutical company. Given the proprietary nature of the collaborations both partners declined to be named.
"With our new European partner, we have entered into a broad-based collaboration to discover and develop novel small-molecule therapeutics for use in the fields of CNS; Alzheimer's disease, neuro-inflammation and type-2 diabetes," said Mark Warne, Managing Director at Exelgen. "Under the terms of the agreement, based on compounds discovered by Exelgen, our partner will receive an option to license the compounds and collaborate in specific programs. With the signing of the agreement, our partner will make an initial up-front cash payment to Exelgen for exclusivity on certain program assets and have the option to continue development of the assets in collaboration with Exelgen.” If this collaboration proves successful and a drug candidate is identified, Exelgen would receive ongoing support through additional research funding and, more importantly, will be eligible to receive success-based milestones of up to $25 million and additional royalties on any product sales.
Speaking about the collaboration with the leading US pharmaceutical company, Mark Hober, Vice President of Business Development and Marketing for CBI, indicated that, "This collaboration draws on Exelgen's proven track record in computational design and library synthesis and is expected to generate revenues of up to $900,000 over the coming months.
