Pinellas Park, FL (July 10, 2006) - Monogram International, Inc. and Marvel Entertainment, Inc. have constructed a comprehensive, multi-year agreement to produce long-standing superhero character items. Marvel Entertainment, Inc. has been a sought after license by Monogram International, Inc. for quite some time now. So, it is with great pride and pleasure to present a new and rawer license to Monogram's collection.

"I feel this is a perfect fit with what we are doing on the DC Comic Brand," says Mike Normann, Monogram's Vice President of Sales and Marketing, a long-time fan of Marvel's Spider-Man. "I am very excited to be working on this project and believe the fan base both companies have acquired over the years will also be thrilled about the product line we are going to produce." As it stands, the products will include banks, paperweights, travel mugs, glassware, bobbleheads, keychains, and personalized items such as magnets, stickers, pens and journals.

Monogram has immediate plans to expand the bust bank line, drinkware and desk accessories with characters ranging from Captain America to X-Men Classics to The Fantastic Four. Plus, with the Spider-Man 3 movie merchandising agreement recently signed, the brainy comic book superhero people like Michael grew up loving to read will now be available as a desk accessory paperweight for everyone to enjoy.

Monogram International, Inc. is a world leader in bringing licensed characters to life in giftware, novelty toy and souvenir products for children and adults. Creating merchandise for toy, gift and mass retailers for 35 years, this is Monogram's celebration of performance innovation and style.
