So, why a musical about Stan Lee? This short video gives a quick overview of the concept:

​Stan Lee is as beloved as the superheroes he created, but few people know that in the early days of Marvel Comics, Stan had a battle with the powerful Comics Code Authority that changed the world of comics forever. This titanic clash defined Stan Lee's idea of what it means to be a hero, and brought him together with the woman who became the love of his life. The Comics Code musical tells the story of this extraordinary time - and we get to see the creation of our favorite superheroes along the way!

​​

We started this project with a table read, and then a full public reading in West Hollywood which was performed to a full hall and received a very positive reaction. Then we produced the video of a scene ("The Fantastic Four") as a proof-of-concept, and on the strength of this Naxos Records asked to release music from the show. The singles Something Missing and Go There have introduced our material to a much wider audience (including Europe and Asia) and we are preparing to record the follow up single at the moment.​

​

Thanks to the many people who have helped in advising, performing, filming, recording the material from Then Comics Code. It is sooo appreciated!
