John Wayne Rides off with powerHouse


Combining family photos with images from his feature films, the book will include comments from family members, friends and co-stars. The agreement marks John Wayne Enterprises’s first foray into publishing. The company currently has licensing partnerships in novelties, apparel, accessories, home furnishing and gaming.

“We knew of powerHouse’s impeccable reputation in the publishing world, but it is Daniel Power and Craig Cohen’s commitment to quality and innovation and their respect for both John Wayne the icon and the man that made it possible for us to enter into this agreement,” says Ethan Wayne, president of John Wayne Enterprises and son of the late Hollywood legend. “As the first-ever authorized book on John Wayne, my family is looking forward to sharing the myriad of personal memories and never-before-seen images that will comprise this unique representation of our father’s life.”
