"Unmasked: The Detailed Account Of Phoenix Jones By Ken Goldstein" Debuts At WizardWorld.com Wednesday
Popular "citizen superhero" Phoenix Jones is unmasked in an unprecedented interview with Ken Goldstein and video and photos by famed photographer Peter Tangen, to be published on WizardWorld.com on Wednesday.
- Austin-San Marcos, TX (1888PressRelease) October 26, 2011 - Phoenix Jones, the "citizen superhero" who has gained fame for his efforts in fighting crime in the streets of Seattle while dressed as a masked crusader, will reveal his true story for the first time in an expansive interview with author Ken Goldstein, exclusively at WizardWorld.com, on Wednesday. The site will also feature exclusive video excerpts from the interview and the debut of the first official photo of Benjamin Fodor by noted movie photographer Peter Tangen.
Tangen is among the most renowned entertainment publicity photographers in the world, having photographed one sheets from the three SPIDERMAN films, BATMAN BEGINS, HELLBOY, QUEEN OF THE DAMNED and other blockbusters.
"Unmasked: The Detailed Account of Phoenix Jones by Ken Goldstein," a first-of-its-kind interview, details Jones' motivation for creating the character and aspects of his life that have never before been told. The wide-ranging discussion, according to Goldstein (author of "The Way of the Nerd" series) has an intense feel reminiscent of the famed "Frost-Nixon" interviews of the 1970s.
"Many aspects of Phoenix's personality come through in the interviews," said Goldstein, who as a confident of Jones prior to his unmasking on October 6 in Seattle was able to extract many intimate details of his subject's life. "He is Phoenix Jones the superhero, Benjamin Foder the husband and father, and 'Flattop' the MMA fighter. The real man is way cooler than just Phoenix Jones."
"This is the kind of story that gets me really excited to be in the superhero business. Phoenix is a real life version of what we've been reading about for decades," said Gareb Shamus, Wizard World CEO.
Goldstein was also able to speak with Purple Reign, Jones' wife, also a member of the Rain City Superhero Movement in the Emerald City. This is the first in-depth sit down interview with Purple, who speaks directly to the Wizard fan base.
