Stan Lee: New York Comic Legend

Stan "The Man" Lee, father of the Marvel Universe of comic books, co-creator of some of the most memorable characters in comic book history, will be receiving the first ever New York Comic Legends Award according to the New York Comic Con.

The Award was created by the New York Comic Con as a form of appreciation for the greatest people to influence the comic book industry who hail from the Big Apple. The award will be handed to Mr. Marvel himself at the Virgin Megastore on Times Square at a special VIP party. A limited amount of tickets for entry will be made available and can be found via the New York Comic Con website on March 28th.

It's quite obvious to see why Mr. Lee deserves this award. Even non-comic book fans know who Stan Lee is! His work to light a fire in the comic book industry will never be forgotten. For decades in the past and for decades in the future, Stan's character driven stories will live on. Perhaps you know some of them. There's that spider guy, those mutants, that huge green fellow, and even that lovable family of heroes.
