But thoughtful readers look beneath Stripperella's frivolous façade and recognize a scholarly, psychological analysis of today's complex male/female relationships with cogent commentary within the sophisticated subtext.
Congratulations to Universal Uclick and POW! for Stripperella, the perfect cerebral companion for the thinking man. Legendary comic book creator Stan Lee, partnered with Universal Uclick, America's No. 1 distributor of comics online and on mobile, has announced an all-new version of one of his most sizzling creations, Stripperella. The sultry super-heroine stars in an original four-volume comic book series written by Lee with art by Anthony Winn available only on the App Store.
Exotica Jones, the new incarnation of the motorcycle-riding exotic dancer who fights crime as Stripperella, makes her eye-popping debut in this all-new made-for-mobile comic book series debuting exclusively on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
"Some people think Stripperella is merely a far-out fantasy featuring a torrid, whistle-bait pin-up," said Lee. "But thoughtful readers look beneath Stripperella's frivolous façade and recognize a scholarly, psychological analysis of today's complex male/female relationships with cogent commentary within the sophisticated subtext. Congratulations to Universal Uclick and POW! for Stripperella, the perfect cerebral companion for the thinking man."
"Stripperella is an eye-catching super heroine, and comic fans will appreciate that Stan Lee, master comics craftsman that he is, has injected this series with a madcap spirit that makes it a thoroughly entertaining read," said Universal Uclick President and Editor Lee Salem.
"This mature-audiences series - available exclusively in the App Store - is uncommonly, unabashedly, undeniably fun. It's exactly the kind of all-out entertainment fans have come to expect from the most well-known innovator in comics."
Longtime fans of the cheeky heroine will note that POW! Entertainment has updated the character's original design from the adult-oriented cartoon series that marked Stripperella's worldwide cable television debut in 2003. But while she sports a new look, iPhone and iPod Touch users can rest assured that the famous curves, tongue-in-cheek humor and "bombshell" status that made Stripperella stand out from the pack remain perfectly intact.
"We started by repurposing print comics for the iPhone. It has always been our intention to bring original content, created exclusively for mobile consumption, to the marketplace," said Salem.
To get Stripperella and other favorite comic books, graphic novels, webcomics and manga for the iPhone and iPod touch go to www.StripperellaApp.com or visit the App Store on the iPhone or on iTunes.

Hi there, Not very long ago, while searching for a nice book or series to translate for kids, I came along with "Calvin and Hobbes" comics which caught my interest at the first glance.
Later on I found out the series has been popular through the US and has been translated to other languages. This ensured me it'll be a good idea to work on it, plus, I really enjoyed the very early parts of the series.
So, I bought a full collection of the work and started the translating job with a friend who is as enthusiastic to work on children area as I am, and up to now, we have done with one third of the collection. we hope to be able to dedicate the Persian version of the most popular series ever to its author and the people who tried to get the world to know it.
There remains an important issue, which I personally would like to clarify; the copyright issue. You might know that Iran, the country I am living in, doesn't respect copyright, that is why original books are being easily offset and sold for a low price. But my partner and I would like to have Mr. Bill Watterson's verbal approval and permission to publish the Persian version of "Calvin and Hobbes" in Iran. That would be the least we can do to show our respect to the author and beside that, it is a moral obligation.
And here I am asking you for help. moreover iI'd be really grateful to be able to contact Mr. Watterson via e-mail.
I look forward to hear from you as soon as possible and thank you in advance.regards,

Kansas City, MO (07/21/2009) “Close to Home” cartoonist John McPherson had his speaking engagement cancelled by the Bureau of Public Debt in Washington, D.C., after a U.S. Senator got wind of the event and voiced his displeasure.
“This is bigger than Watergate,” said McPherson who was scheduled to deliver a 3-hour presentation into how to relieve stress in the workplace through humor.
According to a report by The Hill Web site (www.thehill.com), Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.) complained to the Treasury Department after he became aware of a job notice on The Drudge Report Web site. The agency cancelled the event after the senator impinged.
“It’s kind of funny, except for the part about me being out of the money,” quipped McPherson. “I may need to present to myself in order to relieve my stress.”
