DISNEY STUDIOS And STAN LEE Sign Exclusive Deal

(From Reuters)

WALT DISNEY STUDIOS, a unit of THE WALT DISNEY COMPANY, said on Wednesday it signed an exclusive multi-year deal with STAN LEE, the creator and producer of SPIDERMAN and his production company POW! ENTERTAINMENT INC.

Under the terms, Lee and his company will develop and produce all forms of entertainment, the Walt Disney unit said in a statement.

Lee is often cited as the creator and inventor of the modern superhero, whose body of work and compelling characters helped revolutionize the entertainment industry.

Some of his most enduring characters include SPIDERMAN, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, X-MEN and THE FANTASTIC FOUR, which have transcended the comic book genre into successful films.
