In case you did not notice, .03 was a repeat of .02! Here is the proper text: SMASH! Comics Turns Five! The much talked about indie comics label will celebrate their anniversary with a bang! (Kincardine, ON)- In an industry fraught with fly-by-night financing and dreams that are often bigger than budgets it's rare to see an independent comic imprint that has survived more than one publisher, let alone survive for half a decade. SMASH! Comics, gearing up for the summer of 2006, has accomplished both and is ready to celebrate! In June of 2001 the now defunct Lightningstrike Publishing launched a new comic book imprint, SMASH! Comics. Up until then Lightningstrike had been a self-publishing venture of owner Mike Gagnon. Thanks to the friends and connections Gagnon had made on the convention circuit he was able to gather a group of trusted creators with work he liked, and get a specialty investment firm to finance the operations. Thus SMASH! Comics was born. Gagnon managed the business and its comic line and continued to pump out a steady flow of quality small press comics. Many became sleeper hits and helped add to the underground following of creators such as Jason Marcy (Jay's Days, Powerwus), Paul Quinn (Suspension of Disbelief), and others. Gagnon was also able to find time to continue creating his own work with such surprise small press fan favorites as Mason. Over the years SMASH! built a reputation of making good comics and slowly but steadily built a loyal readership. Then in the summer of 2003, when SMASH! was reaching the pinnacle of success and accepting orders from several major distributors on a regular basis, the rug was pulled out from under the growing label. Due to executive mismanagement the investment firm financing the company went bankrupt. The company was left to survive on its own and carry on trying to expand and grow a successful product line without the important financing every small company needs. Gagnon managed to maintain operations and financing on his own for another year, when another surprise hit the entrepreneur in late August of 2004. Seeing the small company able to survive on its own equaled dollar signs in the eyes of the lawyers representing the company's former investors. Although Gagnon had already managed to resolve any and all debt related to SMASH! Comics, and the bank that was floating the investment firm that had its money in SMASH! had already collected on the investment firm's assets, the lawyers tried to claim the investment their clients had in the company equaled a controlling share, and that in turn made Lightningstrike Publishing an asset of the bankrupt financer to be liquidated as part of the bankruptcy fund. This meant as far as the lawyers were concerned Lightningstrike Publishing was their property and was to be sold off to the highest bidder. If Gagnon wanted to retain control of his company the bankruptcy lawyers were going to do their best to make him buy his own company from them or threaten to sell it out from under him without his consent. Although the logic was quite questionable Gagnon couldn't afford the legal fees to fight the claims the bankruptcy lawyers were making and prove them wrong. Gagnon was having a hard enough time keeping the company running and out of debt as he continued to run the company on a management team of one. After a lot of thought and consultation Gagnon realized that under the circumstances he needed a new financer or business partner to help manage the business and ease the ridiculous problems that the bankrupt former investment firm was making. No serious backers expressed interest. After some more thinking it occurred to Gagnon that the one thing that the bankers had relied on was that Gagnon would continue to run the business and perform the management duties they needed to keep the business running to be the legitimate asset that the bankruptcy lawyers claimed it was. At this realization it was Gagnon's turn to pull the rug out from under his former investors. In a matter of just days a whirlwind of action ensued. Gagnon cancelled the company's business licensing and registration, closed the business, sold some of the assets, and made arrangements for all of the debts to be taken care of. All without bankruptcy. The lawyers were informed that they were welcome to have the company name of Lightningstrike Publishing if they thought it was worth anything now that the business was no longer running. Without the claim of a successful business operating as a sellable asset the lawyers quickly lost interest in trying to argue the point any further. Within a week they were back, trying to argue a claim over the SMASH! Comics imprint. That claim however quickly dissolved when it was found that the imprint name and logo were a privately registered copyright held personally by Gagnon himself and not of his former business Lightningstrike publishing. With the parent company closed Gagnon stated that he was not using the SMASH! name and was willing to give it away too. He didn't have to. In a strange twist of fate only two weeks after the lawyers left Gagnon alone and less than a month after Lightningstrike Publishing and SMASH! Comics shut down; Gagnon finally got a serious legitimate response to his ads and press releases looking for a business partner and investor. The response came in the form of Chris Campanozzi, successful investor and former actor living in New Jersey. Campanozzi has seen the ins and outs of the entertainment industry and brought a lot of valuable knowledge and financing to the table. Unfortunately without a business Gagnon had little to bring to the table. The two struck up a friendship, and soon decided to form a business together as 50/50 partners in a full fledged traditional publishing company that would publish quality children's books, hard cover fiction, and graphic novels. Thus was born Open Book Press. One of the first duties Open Book Press performed was to buy the copyright for SMASH! Comics from Gagnon for an undisclosed amount. The company decided to keep the name and imprint alive and in the public eye by placing it on the front or back cover of every graphic novel they produced. The name and logo has continued to appear uninterrupted on the company's line of successful graphic novels such as Grafenveer, Dreams in Texture, Monkeys & Midgets, and Cry Wolf. The healthy and thriving Open Book Press is expanding into the comic book market with the re-launch of the SMASH! Comics imprint and its line of new black and white and full color comic books which begin shipping in May. This new line of comics will feature some innovations on the small press comics scene. Every comic is perfect bound instead of stapled and made of the same high quality paper and covers that the company uses for its graphic novels. This means that it will be the only line of comic books that can also be easily carried and stocked in traditional book stores. As well, through strategic partnerships, the new comics will be sold at a price that can compete with larger mainstream competitors. The average new SMASH! Comic will run about $3.99 for 40 pages. The new line-up of comics is mostly made up of established and successful self-published series such as Mr. Scootles by H.C. Noel, Underlords created by Greg Robinson, Monkeys with Machineguns by UK comic stars Chris Lynch and Stu.Art and others who have come looking to join on and have SMASH! Comics serve as their new publisher. The interest coming from old and new creators alike is often credited to the reputation that Gagnon has built for dealing with all his creators in an honest and straight forward manner. As part of the celebration to mark the five year survival of SMASH! Comics each comic will bear a commemorative 5th anniversary logo on the cover beginning in June. The company will also begin shipping a new and different comic or book every month with a cover price of only $1 U.S. These special editions will be released from August to December of 2006 and will feature things like official character guide books, retrospectives on the history of the imprint, short stories of old and new SMASH! characters and previews of upcoming projects. The company will also be releasing a set of limited edition trading cards to commemorate the occasion which will feature old and new art from artists throughout the comics industry. More info on these special editions will be released soon. The company is also continuing to actively pursue licensing of its properties and licensing of properties from other forms of entertainment. It recently announced that it is in negotiations to buy the rights to its former competitor Speakeasy Comics, which recently closed its doors. For more information on Open Book Press and SMASH!

(Kincardine, ON)- After well over a year and a half on the works, talent changes and re-designs, the much anticipated color horror anthology "Vault of Terror" is shipping this May. This book collects some of most exciting and frightening horror comics currently coming out from the hottest soon to be known talents. Contributors include: Kevin Clorey, Michael S. Bracco, Enzo Pertile, Roberto Goiriz, Saurav Mohapatra & Kaushik Pal, Nicholas Knight & Peter Anckorn and last but certainly not least Chris Lynch & Stu.Art. Each tells their own unique, original, and twisted tale of horror. The book is presented as a deluxe format, oversized 8 1/2" X 11" edition with a hardcover cloth bound cover and a color dust jacket illustrated by Kevin Clorey. This graphic novel is a perfect piece to add to your bookshelf collection and is already generating demand among horror comic fans and graphic novel collectors alike. The book is the brainchild of Mike Gagnon, publisher at Open Book Press. The book was originally scheduled for a Halloween 2005 release, but when several of the original creative teams failed to turn in the work on time and up to the publisher's standards the book had to be re- scheduled and have new creators brought on board to fill in the gaps left behind. The change was actually a blessing, with the book turning out even better than originally planned, and ready to hit fans riding the popular trend of horror comics. "Vault of Terror" (ISBN: 0-9739465-7-1) is a prestige full color hardcover graphic novel, retailing at $27.95 and shipping to stores in May 2006. More details can be found at: www.openbookpress.com +++++ SMASH! Comics Unveils New Cover for Underlords Trade New surprise cover for collected series shipping in May (Kincardine, ON)- In 2005 Underlords was arguably one of the biggest break out hits of the independent comic scene. Many critics have stated that this series could present serious competition, even for the big mainstream publishers. Fans of the sci-fi/fantasy mini-series that have been eagerly awaiting the release of the trade now have one more reason to be excited. The reason to be excited comes from the announcement that there is a new surprise cover on the trade which is blowing fans away. The trade already boasts plenty of extras, pin-ups, and unpublished character profiles, and now avid collectors have one more reason to pick up the collected edition. Publisher Mike Gagnon commented "Greg (Robinson) and I were trying to pack so much extra material into the book we ran out of room. We actually had to extend the page length from 116 to 118. We couldn't extend it anymore without increasing the cover price, and we both felt that just wasn't fair to the fans, so we decided to hang onto the rest of the extra material for future books." He also added "We were finding new stuff to add even up to the print deadline, and then Greg shows me this amazing pin-up by artist Abdul Rashid and colorist Felton Allen. Right away I said 'That has to be our cover' and Greg agreed." Previously the book had been solicited with the same cover as issue #1 from the mini-series published in 2005. The new cover features the Underlord Trendal kneeling with an angelic halo and glow around him, surrounded by the mythic rune symbols which are a part of the Underlords story. The publisher felt that not only was this a beautiful cover, but it also was a better fit for the book store industry better, which the company has a steady focus on as a growth area in 2006. Underlords was created by Greg Robinson of Eidolon Studios, Written by Rick Beckley, and illustrated by Abdul Rashid. The story blends sci-fi, fantasy, and some super- hero elements without being forced or contrived. The Underlords collected trade paperback, with the new cover retails for $19.99, and hits stores in May. ISBN: 0- 9739465-9-8 For SMASH!

A federal judge in Los Angeles has found that the WB's young Superman skein (TV series) may be infringing on the copyrights held on the Superboy character by the widow and daughter of Jerome Siegel, originator of the comic book series. The March 23 summary judgment by Judge Ronald S.W. Lew also found that Joanne Siegel and Laura Siegel Larson had successfully recaptured the Superboy rights as of Nov. 17, 2004. Lew's rulings in the copyright infringement lawsuit against Time Warner, Warner Bros. and DC Comics throw into question the ownership of "Smallville" episodes that have run since November 2004. Lew denied a request by the defendants for a ruling that "Smallville" did not infringe on the Superboy copyrights. Warner Bros. said in response that it "respectfully disagrees" with the rulings and will pursue an appeal. Still to be resolved is the question of whether "Smallville" -- now in its fifth season and centered on a teenage Clark Kent -- is actually infringing on the Superboy copyright. No trial date has been set in the suit, filed in 2004. In their request for partial summary judgment, Siegel and Larson didn't ask for a copyright infringement ruling, which Lew said would require a "detailed factual comparison." But he noted, "Enough facts are presented, where this court, contrary to defendants' request, could find that the main character in 'Smallville' is in fact Superboy." Lew also added in a footnote, "In the Superboy comic strip, a billboard on the side of a rural country road announces, 'Welcome to Smallville! Home of Superboy." In response, Warner Bros. also pointed out that the suit is directed solely to rights relating to the costumed character Superboy -- not Superman. "Moreover, the court's ruling does not affect the television series 'Smallville,' which is grounded in depictions of a young Superman that pre-date the publication of Superboy in 1944 and which therefore are not subject to the termination notice, even if valid," Warner added. Marc Toberoff, who represents Siegel and Larson, told Daily Variety that the only representations of a younger Superman which pre-date 1944 Superboy consist of one or two panels showing Superman as a baby or toddler. "Jerry Siegel's Superboy focuses on Superboy's relationship with his parents and his adventures with school classmates in a small town which, by Superboy No. 2, was named Smallville," he added. The dispute over who owns Superboy goes back to 1938 -- the same year the first Superman comicbook, based on the story originated by Siegel and illustrator Joseph Shuster, was published. A few months later, Siegel agreed to provide Detective Comics with a new Superboy comicstrip and submitted a plan that was turned down. Siegel unsuccessfully attempted several more times to pique Detective's interest in Superboy before entering the Army in 1943. But Detective began publishing Superboy comics in 1944 while Siegel was stationed in the Pacific, resulting in a 1947 lawsuit in which New York state court Judge Addison Young found Siegel to be the sole owner of Superboy. In 1948, Siegel reached a settlement with National Comics Publications (predecessor of DC Comics) in which he sold ownership of Superboy and Superman to National. Siegel and Shuster sued to regain the Superman copyright in 1973, but lost that suit two years later. Siegel then launched a PR campaign to protest DC Comics' treatment of him and Shuster, placing a "curse" on the upcoming "Superman" film and resulting in Warner Communications awarding annual pensions to the duo along with credit as co-creators. Shuster died in 1992; Siegel passed away four years later. The Superboy copyrights -- granted originally for the standard 28 years -- were renewed for another 28 years between 1972 and 1975. However, Congress amended copyright law in 1976 to extend renewal terms from 28 years to 47 years in order to allow authors and their heirs to recapture copyrights for the extended renewal period. So in late 2002, Joanne Siegel and Laura Siegel Larson served the standard two-year notice they were terminating the 1948 grant of the Superboy copyright. But in August 2004, DC Comics notified Siegel and Larson it was denying the validity of the termination notice and asserting it would "vigorously oppose" any attempt to exploit the Superboy copyrights. Siegel and Larson filed their suit two months later. In their legal responses to the Superboy suit, Time Warner and its co-defendants had contended Superboy was simply a younger version of Superman and that Superboy was "work for hire" solely owned by its predecessors. But Lew said those arguments were unpersuasive in light of rulings made by Judge Young in the 1947 trial. Lew noted that Young had made those determinations after hearing evidence from the parties who were "directly involved" in the original dispute. "Defendants' attempt to recast Superboy as a 'derivative work' or 'work for hire' stands in stark contrast to Judge Young's conclusion that Detective/National was 'perpetually enjoined and restrained from creating, publishing, selling or distributing' Superboy, based on the fact that Siegel was the sole and exclusive owner," Lew said. "Defendants' argument also contradicts the fact that Siegel subsequently transferred his exclusive interest in Superboy to National in the May 19, 1948, stipulated settlement. Had Superboy been nothing more than a derivative work, Siegel would have owned no interest in the Superboy property to transfer." Lew also noted that the defendants' predecessors had relied on Young's rulings in previous cases such as Siegel-Shuster's unsuccessful 1973 suit. "Defendants now take the inconsistent position that this court is not bound by the state court findings, as they relate to Superboy," he wrote. Toberoff, a specialist in intellectual property, represented Robert B. Clark in his suit against Warner Bros., which was settled last year for at least $17.5 million for infringing on the copyright to the 1974 film "Moonrunners" by making the feature "The Dukes of Hazzard." "Moonrunners" became the basis of the Warner TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard."
