Editor's Note 49

Gwyneth Paltrow in skyscraper stilettos and micro mini skirts; Robert Downey Jr.—the unlikeliest of super-heroes; and of course, Marvel's president of international, Simon Philips. All the big names have been out over the past week as Iron Man premiered across Europe at breakneck speed, in the first of Marvel's self-financed movies to debut this summer. At the London event at the Odeon in Leicester Square , Simon Philips hit the stage with the Hollywood stars to introduce the film. Who said the licensing industry isn't glamorous?
