Stan Lee Presents & Autobiography

Hey True Believers... I know, it has yet again been quite some time since I have been able to sit down and spend a little time writing to all of you! I humbly ask for your forgiveness... I have been beyond busy for all good reasons. If you've followed my journey over the years, then you already know that I've never been one to slow down. Whether it's radio, podcasting, wrestling, voice acting, comics, food, philanthropy, or any of the countless crazy adventures I've found myself involved in over the last several decades, I've always believed in one thing: to always continue to move forward. Today, I'm genuinely excited to share something that's literally been years in the making. My official autobiography and memoirs, "If They Only Knew... Memoirs From The Barren Wastelands of My Mind," has officially been completed. That's right. It's finished. Well, at least on my end - next step is editing and then printing. For years, people have asked me when I was going to tell my story. Not the highlight reel. Not the convention panel version. Not the social media snippets. The real story. The good, bad, victories, failures, lessons, laughs... and the moments that changed my life forever. This book truly dives into everything Brimstone, a full story of my life. From growing up on Long Island, my wild journey through professional wrestling, entertainment, radio, comics, voice acting, and business, to the incredible friendships I've been blessed to have with legends, other celebrities, creators, and everyday people who helped shape who I am today. There are a plethora of stories I've never publicly told before. Some will make you laugh, some cry, others that may surprise you. There may be a couple that might even make you shake your head. Now, my title couldn't be more fitting, because if they only knew. Well, you'll find out soon enough which is bizarre considering I’ve been keeping this one close to the chest for such a long time. Believe it or not, I started writing this literally almost fifteen years ago - way before I had any business even considering a project like this! After so much time has passed, I'm thrilled for it to finally be completed. I feel so accomplished to be honest. I personally wanted to make sure that it would be worth reading. I can now humbly say... think it is. Stay tuned!

Stan Lee Presents – July 1st, 2026

While finishing my memoir, I’ve also been deep in production on another major project that means a lot to me personally: Stan Lee Presents. Filming and recording this series has been surreal in the best way possible. Stan wasn’t just an icon to me — he was a friend, a mentor, and someone who genuinely believed in lifting people up creatively. Having the unique opportunity to help continue to keep his legacy alive is something I don’t take lightly. The NEW series officially launches on July 1st, 2026 and will release on the Official Stan Lee Presents YouTube as well as wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts. There were a lot of moving pieces and I want to properly thank the people who helped make it happen:

Hazel Avivah

Creator, Executive Producer, Co-Host... and honestly one of the driving forces behind the entire project. Hazel is the actual Stan Lee brand manager and had a special relationship with Stan. She is a Stan Lee Historian and handles the Official social media accounts for our beloved Generalissimo. It was an honor and a privilege working closely with her on this very special project.

Dayna Pereira

Co-Host, Producer and my partner in the 'Dirty Little Secrets Club' whose energy and creativity are not only all over this project, but truly infectious. As soon as the opportunity came up - I knew we had to bring Dayna along for the ride! The amount of Stan hours she's clocked since signing on, and knowledge that's been implanted in her noggin - expect her to be very involved in the conversations that will be taking place on the show!

Tom Greer

Co-Host and Producer with the kind of dedication every production needs and rarely gets enough credit for. I've been working alongside Mr. Greer for about ten crazy years already via 'The Grindhouse Radio' as well as a fun stint together on 'Truly Inconsequential' and I can say there is never a dull moment! One of my favorite people to do the Podcast thing with.

Kim Adragna

Co-Host and Producer who I have had as a co-pilot for over ELEVEN years on 'The Grindhouse Radio'. Kim' has worked with me since she was about to graduate Farmingdale College and actually started as an intern for me at my company, 'Hound Comics, Inc. (Hound Entertainment Group).' We banter like nobodies business - so it was a no-brainer to have her on this ride.

Meanwhile, this project is obviously a LOT bigger than what you would probably think - there are a bunch of people who put in a tremendous amount of time and effort to ensure that this machine continued to keep on ticking! Trust me... it was a team effort to say the least! The entire Kartoon Studios and Stan Lee Universe... I want to genuinely thank them (and of course Hazel) for hunting me down and trusting us with something that is directly connected to Stan and his legacy. That responsibility mattered to all of us. - not me alone. Now with that power, comes GREAT responsibility... to the fans who are paying close attention: thank you for still caring about stories, creators, comics, and the weird little worlds we build together.

In order to make this happen in the manner that it deserved to be treated, we’ve simultaniously been rebuilding The Grindhouse Radio Studios from the ground up. Not metaphorically. Quite literally. Now, anyone who has ever built a studio and/or sound stage knows it’s part creativity, part construction project, and part a psychological endurance test. We pretty much exacerbated all of these parts and we're SO proud of the results! The eye-catcher (after an all new paint job) is the insanely perfect LED sign from my friends over at Custom Neon that captured our logo, colors and overall brand in the custom design. As cool as that is... nobody could have prepared us for our new mind-blowing centerpiece! Our old table had a make-over and the brand-new custom table was designed by my dear friend and Internationally reknowned artist, Matthew James and his wife (my sister from another mister) Claire Unabia (America's Next Top Model & Westworld). I'm not going to lie, I was a bit worried at first - but they absolutely crushed it. It is absolutely gorgeous, looks incredible

and still remains functional, which is rarer than people think. Quite possibly the biggest help at the studio (aside from Alex - I'm getting to him), was my wife Danielle, to which a huge amount of thanks and debt is owed. She put in an insane amount of work behind the scenes helping to re-paint, touch-up, install, organize, coordinate, plan, and keep everything moving... especially when MY brain was juggling sixteen projects at once. I will be up front with all of you - the prepping for the show was an undertaking and extremely stressful considering the schedule I have on the daily. Taking something on of this magnitude has to be done correctly and it is a lot of unbearable pressure when up against a deadline. The positive is everything is done now in studio - so it doesn't have to be done again! Therefore, the prep for future seasons of Stan Lee Presents as well as when we start filming The Grindhouse Radio and Within Brim's Skin, will be a lot smoother thankfully! So that makes me happy.

As for my engineer Alex... you are my life-preserver in a sea of sharks. I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for all the long hours, the wiring marathons, the late nights, long days, the neverending troubleshooting sessions, the “why is this humming?” investigations, dealing with my mood-swings, handling my attitude, and having the patience required to turn a pile of gear into a working studio. As for the new setup - it feels like the next chapter of Grindhouse Radio, not just an upgrade. I'm ecstatic to share it with the world and with the fans. It's funny, because the folks following along at home won't really see much of the ambiance in the studio as the shots are not set up for full studio, only individual host captures... but you get a little of it! I'll post more on social media - normally on Instagram, and I'm considering starting to do more LIVE things on Insta and possibly TikTok. So, I suppose we'll see won't we.

I’m also officially announcing that I’ll be signing at San Diego Comic-Con 2026. I know I will be in the Sails Pavilion on Friday and Saturday... I’ll be posting full details soon on my social media including exact signing locations, times, and appearance schedules. And most importantly - if you’re attending SDCC, make sure you stop by the Stan Lee Presents panel: Sunday – 2:00 PM at the Marriott Marquis San Diego Marina. We’ll be talking about the series, sharing behind-the-scenes stories, discussing Stan’s legacy, and answering fan questions. It should be a really fun panel and you never know WHO may show up to hang out! Bring yourselves, bring your questions and bring your cameras - It'll be AWESOME!

One Last Thing... I’ve been doing this entertainment thing for a long time now. Long enough to know that none of it happens alone. The podcasts, the comics, the shows, the conventions, the books, the studio rebuilds... all of it exists because people show up and care. It is allowed to exist because of supporters like you. So thank you. 2026 is shaping up to be one hell of a year. A completed memoir. A new Stan Lee series. A rebuilt studio. Comic-Con. New projects already in motion. And somehow, after all these years, it still feels like we’re only getting started.

Much love, respect, and positivity.

- Brim
