Allies of the Amazon
ORIGINS/DISTRIBUTION
Stan Lee’s Kids Universe is a joint venture between Lee’s POW! Entertainment and Dougas’s 1821 Media. FTD publishing, a Brazilian-based publisher that specializes in educational material produced the book. The characters were created during a meeting between Lee, Lapenda, and Dougas. Brazilian author Gabriel Chalita was tapped to write the book, and for the illustrations, Lapenda recruited Brazilian artist Bruno Miranda.
Allies of the Amazon was released by SLKU and was the first posthumous work released after Lee’s death. A year after Lee’s death, the book was made available in Brazil via Amazon.
