  • The Charismatic Leadership and Cultural Legacy of Stan Lee
    REINVENTING THE AMERICAN SUPERHERO: THE CHARISMATIC LEADERSHIP AND CULTURAL LEGACY OF STAN LEE Hazel Homer-Wambeam Junior Individual Documentary Process Paper: 499 Words !1 “A different house of worship A different color skin A piece of land that’s coveted And the drums of war begin.” -Stan Lee, 1970 THESIS As the comic book industry was collapsing during the 1950s and 60s, Stan Lee utilized his charismatic leadership style to reinvent and revive the superhero phenomenon. By leading the industry into the “Marvel Age,” Lee has left a multilayered legacy. Examples of this include raising awareness of social issues, shaping contemporary pop-culture, teaching literacy, giving people hope and self-confidence in the face of adversity, and leaving behind a multibillion dollar industry that employs thousands of people. TOPIC I was inspired to learn about Stan Lee after watching my first Marvel movie last spring. I was never interested in superheroes before this project, but now I have become an expert on the history of Marvel and have a new found love for the genre. Stan Lee’s entire personal collection is archived at the University of Wyoming American Heritage Center in my hometown. It contains 196 boxes of interviews, correspondence, original manuscripts, photos and comics from the 1920s to today. This was an amazing opportunity to obtain primary resources. !2 RESEARCH My most important primary resource was the phone interview I conducted with Stan Lee himself, now 92 years old. It was a rare opportunity that few people have had, and quite an honor! I use clips of Lee’s answers in my documentary.

  • Captain America
    The Star-spangled Avenger Adapted from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Captain America first appeared in Captain America Comics #1 (Cover dated March 1941), from Marvel Comics' 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. For nearly all of the character's publication history, Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers , a frail young man who was enhanced to the peak of human perfection by an experimental serum in order to aid the United States war effort. Captain America wears a costume that bears an American flag motif, and is armed with an indestructible shield that can be thrown as a weapon. An intentionally patriotic creation who was often depicted fighting the Axis powers. Captain America was Timely Comics' most popular character during the wartime period. After the war ended, the character's popularity waned and he disappeared by the 1950s aside from an ill-fated revival in 1953. Captain America was reintroduced during the Silver Age of comics when he was revived from suspended animation by the superhero team the Avengers in The Avengers #4 (March 1964). Since then, Captain America has often led the team, as well as starring in his own series. Captain America was the first Marvel Comics character adapted into another medium with the release of the 1944 movie serial Captain America . Since then, the character has been featured in several other films and television series, including Chris Evans in 2011’s Captain America and The Avengers in 2012. The creation of Captain America In 1940, writer Joe Simon conceived the idea for Captain America and made a sketch of the character in costume.

    NO. In the Supreme Court of the United States LISA R. KIRBY, NEAL L. KIRBY, SUSAN N. KIRBY, BARBARA J. KIRBY, Petitioners, v. MARVEL CHARACTERS, INCORPORATED, MARVEL WORLDWIDE, INCORPORATED, MVL RIGHTS, LLC, WALT DISNEY COMPANY, MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT, INCORPORATED, Respondents. On Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI MARC TOBEROFF Counsel of Record TOBEROFF & ASSOCIATES, P.C. 22337 Pacific Coast Hwy, Suite 348 Malibu, CA 90265 (310) 246-3333 [email protected] Counsel for Petitioners Becker Gallagher · Cincinnati, OH · Washington, D.C. · 800.890.5001 i QUESTIONS PRESENTED The Copyright Act grants the children of a deceased author the right to recover the author’s copyrights by statutorily terminating prior copyright transfers. 17 U.S.C. §§ 304(c), (d). “Works for hire” are the sole exclusion. Id. Petitioners, the children of the acclaimed comic-book artist/creator Jack Kirby (The Fantastic Four, X-Men, The Mighty Thor, The Incredible Hulk, etc.), served statutory notices of termination on the Marvel respondents regarding the key works Kirby authored as an independent contractor in 1958-63. Section 26, the “work for hire” provision of the 1909 Copyright Act, applicable to pre-1978 works, states simply: “The word author shall include an employer in the case of works made for hire.” For six decades, including in 1958-63, “employer” was duly given its common law meaning, and “work for hire” applied solely to conventional employment, not to independent contractors like Kirby. It follows then, in 1958-63 Kirby was the original owner of the copyrights to the works he authored and subsequently assigned to Marvel, and his children have the right to recapture his copyrights by termination of such assignments under 17 U.S.C.§304(c).
