DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With the passing of Stan Lee, one of the most influential writers and publishers in the comic book industry and creative tour de force behind Marvel’s Silver Age, the fight for Lee’s money, fame and fortune has just begun. The co-creator of beloved characters like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Thor and the X-Men was the center of behind the scenes power struggles. Charges of fraud, elder abuse, theft, lawsuits and news reports documented the drama in his final days as business advisers, lawyers and his only child, J.C., battled for control of Lee’s business and legacy.
Join veteran CNN entertainment reporter and a member of Lee’s inner circle for years, Alan Duke, as he helps fans sort out the heroes from villains on Scandal: Stan Lee’s World: His Real Life Battle with Heroes and Villains. Duke has publicly remained silent on the Lee family’s dysfunction and internal power struggles for influence from those who want to cash in on Lee’s fame and control his fortune. Lee’s wife, Joan, of more than seven decades was his closest adviser, protector and gatekeeper. After Joan’s death in July 2017, battles equaling any story line from “Game of Thrones” erupted.
While some publications have documented the turmoil, this podcast will bring the complete story to life with the voices of Stan, Joan and J.C., as well as many of those involved in the battles. For the first time, Duke will also publicly share photographic and eye witness evidence of domestic violence and elder abuse inside the Lee home.
Scandal: Stan Lee’s World: His Real Life Battle with Heroes and Villains will feature interviews with those closest to Lee, including people who have been publicly accused of taking advantage of him. Listeners can decide for themselves who are villains and who are heroes.
Scandal: Stan Lee’s World: His Real Life Battle with Heroes and Villains is created, reported and narrated by Duke. His 25 years with CNN took him around the world to cover politics, terrorism, tragedy, crime and entertainment. His career and close friendship with J.C. Lee gave him a front row seat to the turmoil inside their world for years until a dramatic falling out involving Vegas, alcohol, drugs and celebrities. He knows the family secrets, he knows those insiders who hold those secrets, and he’s ready to share them with the world.
The first episode focuses on the reaction of Lee’s death from those who have been closest to Lee including his longtime road manager Max Anderson, his former advisor Keya Morgan, former asset manager Brad Herman and Peter Paul, one of Lee’s former business partners in the 1990s.
Duke dives deep into the power struggles among rivals who claimed they were best to protect Lee. With each weekly episode, Duke will share photos, videos and documents online at StanLeesWorld.com.
“Scandal: Stan Lee’s World: His Real Life Battle with Heroes and Villains is a stunning and revealing podcast.
