Is Stan Lee Being Held Prisoner by Real-Life Villains? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/13/style/stan-lee-marvel-comics-elder-abuse.html Stan Lee Media, a digital content start-up, crashed in 2000 and landed his business partner, Peter F. Paul, in prison for securities fraud. And Mr. Lee is embroiled in disputes with POW! Entertainment, the company he started in 2001 to create new shows, including “Stripperella,” a cartoon starring Pamela Anderson. POW! was sold last year to Camsing International, a Hong Kong-based company seeking to clone Marvel for the Asian market. Mr. Lee says that he has not been paid, which the company denies. “Mr. Lee has been paid and continues to be paid by the company,” said Shane Duffy, the chief executive of POW! “Statements like this only heighten our concern for Stan’s well-being.”
