EXCLUSIVE! HeroicWorld Founder Shares
His Story in Upcoming Book!
The
real-life superhero and comics creator shares his story
Los
Angeles, CA (June 2008)
-- In 2000, the call went out from Metropolis, Illinois
to find an official spokesperson for their annual Superman
Celebration. That person would not only have to fill
out the familiar blue, red, and yellow suit, but also
embody the personal qualities of the Man of Steel. For
eight years, Scott Cranford was that man.
The
Heroic World of Scott Cranford by Scott
Cranford with Brian K. Morris looks at one man's quest
to share his positive philosophies, his creative visions,
and a guide for those who wish to be a role model for
others to follow.
How does a long-time superhero
fan become a stand-in and double for some of Hollywood's
most popular action heroes? How did a wire service release
lead to one man's message of inspiration, self-belief,
and social awareness being spread across the country
and to our troops overseas? And how does he prepare
for the physical and emotional challenges that come
at you faster than a speeding bullet?
"Being
accepted as Earth's mightiest hero wasn't easy,"
admits Cranford. "Especially
when you are trying to keep old-fashioned values fresh."
Now with a following, Cranford drew his new fans to
his award winning website, Heroic World, showcasing
his creations such as Sharpman and The Earth Avenger.
Wizard Magazine calls www.heroicworld.com
"one of the coolest and wackiest sites on the web."
"It's great to watch
Scott with his fans," states co-writer Brian K.
Morris. "Scott has that kind of charisma you just
can't fake and that's what I want to help bring across
in the pages of this book."
Filled
with numerous pictures and illustrations, The
Heroic World of Scott Cranford will be
a delight for his many fans as well as for anyone who
wants to unleash their inner superhero.
The
Heroic World of Scott Cranford will be
released by Heroic World Press, tentatively in the Fall
of 2008. With dozens of photographs from Cranford's
life and career, the softcover book will have a S.R.P.
of $19.95.

fallen hero has left off. Not having the advantage of
the super-serum as Rogers had, the new Captain America
will carry a gun. Will fans accept seeing a gun in the
hands of one the worlds’ greatest superheroes?

Eighth Season
Clark Kent's adolescent journey continues

plays Lex Luthor on the hit series, has confirmed that
this will be his last season.
The
WB show has recently introduced many new characters
from the DC canon including Aquaman, The Green Arrow,
Supergirl, Martian Manhunter and Black Canary. Smallville

featured many actors who have worked on Superman projects
recently, including Dean Cain (Lois
& Clark: The New Adventures of Superman),
Supergirl Helen Slater and Marc McClure
(Jimmy Olson from the Superman movie series).
The Dark Knight's Villains
New versions of some old villains will soon

in his latest big screen adventure when he returns to
theaters in The Dark Knight.
Actor Christian Bale returns as the Dark Knight and
faces The Joker (played by the late Heath Ledger),
Two Face and possibly even Harley Quinn. The backbone
of the story is the beginning of Harvey Dent while the
Joker is loose and raising mayhem.
The Hulk Sees Red!
Comic book superstars Jeph Loeb
and Ed McGuiness have re-teamed to
change the color of the Hulk. Hulk # 1,
currently where comics are sold, features a much angrier
Hulk, so angry he’s even changed color. Marvel’s
keeping the Hulk hot by delivering this highly anticipated
Hulk story immediately after the conclusion of World
War Hulk.
