DYNAMIC FORCES INKS DEAL WITH CLASSIC MEDIA TO PRODUCE NEW COLLECTIBLES BASED ON THE CLASSIC CULT COMICS SOLAR MAN OF ATOM AND MAGNUS ROBOT FIGHTER
Runnemede, NJ — August 18, 2004. Dynamic Forces, Inc. announced
today that it has signed an agreement with Classic Media, the New York–based
family entertainment company that is home to Underdog and
The Lone Ranger, to create limited-edition collectibles based on the
science fiction comic
book favorites Solar Man of Atom and Magnus Robot Fighter.
Initial product offerings will include paper and acetate lithographs,
fine art giclees, statues, busts, and dioramas. The collectible merchandise
will be available at retail beginning in early Summer, 2005!
“From their respective ‘classic’ runs, to the ‘modern’ interpretations,
the Gold Key characters—Solar and Magnus in particular—have
endured and remained fan-favorites to this day. And I’m one of
those fans,” said Nick Barrucci, President of Dynamic Forces. “We
look forward to offering the first-ever statues, busts, and
lithos based on these classic characters. ” “Dynamic Forces create limited-edition collectibles based on some
of the world’s most popular comic book characters,” added
Leslie Levine, head of licensing at Classic Media. “They are an
ideal partner to help bring Solar and Magnus to life with
this all-new product line.”
 ABOUT MAGNUS, ROBOT FIGHTER:
Magnus, Robot Fighter debuted in February 1963 from an initial
concept by Gold Key Comics editor Chase Craig and fleshed
out by cartoonist Russ Manning. Like a Tarzan of the future, Magnus was
raised apart
from human society by Robot 1A. Physically perfect and
expertly trained in martial arts, capable of taking on a steel-plated robot
with his
bare hands, Magnus’ mission is to save the world from over-dependence
on robots—particularly those that have inexplicably turned evil.
 ABOUT SOLAR, MAN OF ATOM:
Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom, who debuted October 1962,
is a different kind of superhero. Developing broad, energy-related
powers from a nuclear accident, Dr. Solar is a brilliant scientist
who fights crime in a crimson suit with a radiation symbol boldly emblazoned
on his chest.

Magnus merchandise —including pre-order information —in the
