Some of you may recall me posting in the past about my involvement with the production of a documentary entitled "TRUE BELIEVER: The Stan Lee Documentary." Well, it's been a long post-production process, and I hadn't heard much of anything from the producer, Nikki Frakes, but she contacted me again today and updated me on the film's status. First is the change of the film's title. It is now called "With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story." The film has been scored, and a final cut put together. The distribution rights is still being hammered out, but there will be a showing of the film this year at the San Diego Comicon. Here is a press release that Ms. Frakes told me I could pass along: Face Front True Believers!!

I asked if Stan would like to have the photos I had sent to him, and he did. I sent him the photos I had saved and a week or so later STAN LEE sent me a way-cool personalized autographed photo of him and Spider-Man! Flash foward a few months later, a producer for the documentary TRUE BELIEVER contacted me about using the video footage I made in the documentary. The producers of the docume...

Hi gang! VERY COOL! STAN LEE, legendary co-creator of such iconic comic book and pop-culture icons, SPIDER-MAN, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, and THE FANTASTIC FOUR, has watched one of my videos from "The HAPPY SHOW!" This is the video he watched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y26EmSDHXh4 I was contacted by a person working for STAN LEE at POW! ENTERTAINMENT, Stan's company, who told me Stan really enjoyed the video and wanted to know where I got the pictures used in the video.
