Stan Lee
Confirms Final Midwest Signing Appearance………Ever
Legendary Comic Book
Creator and Famous Pop Culture Icon to Make Cincinnati Comic Expo His Final
Midwest Show
CINCINNATI- Weeks
after arranging legendary comic creator and artist and Stan Lee to come to the
Cincinnati Comic Expo, we have been able to confirm that the 2016 Expo will be
Stan’s last Midwest convention appearance. For the fans throughout this entire
region of the United States, the Expo will represent one final and possibly, closest
opportunity for them to meet, get a photo and/or autograph from Stan Lee at the
Duke Energy Convention Center from September 23 to 25th.
At the
age of 93, Stan Lee has been attending conventions and shows this year, but has
been cutting down on distances and travel. Stan ended traveling to Europe in
2014. He will make his last international appearance in Canada in early
September. The Expo later that month will be his last Midwest convention.
Following in October, he will visit his final New York Comic Con and in
November he will attend his last New England show in Rhode Island. This
December, Stan will turn 94 years old. For 2017 and beyond, Stan will focus on
conventions and signing events closer to his home and offices in California and
on the West Coast.
In his
decades of work in the comics industry, Stan served many roles and is
responsible for the creation and development of many popular characters. Stan
has served as comic book writer, editor, publisher, as well as former president
and chairman of Marvel Comics. Working with other artists, he has created
Spider-Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor, the X-Men, Daredevil,
Doctor Strange, and many more.
After
his comics career, Stan Lee became the public face of Marvel Comics. He would
travel the world to attend conventions, college lectures, and to develop
television programs and feature films. In addition to being listed as an
Executive Producer on most Marvel film and television projects since 1990, Stan
Lee has been a fixture and has had a cameo in most productions.
Under
Stan’s leadership, a shared universe of comic book stories and superheroes was
created. Characters could crossover from story to story and interact with
others. Above all, he took Marvel Comics from a small publisher to the large
multimedia corporation it is known as today.
Stan
Lee is one of the most recognizable names and faces in the entertainment
industry. His selection of the 2016 Cincinnati Comic Expo for such a historic milestone
convention is just not an honor for the fans of the area, but for the city of
Cincinnati. To celebrate this appearance, the organization of Stan Lee
Collectibles has setup a very special package for those wanting to meet Stan at
the 2016 Cincinnati Comic Expo. Tickets for the Expo are available at the
website: www.cincinnaticomicexpo.com. Tickets for the Stan Lee Experience, which includes a
professional photo with Stan, an autograph by Stan, and various additional limited
edition keepsakes are available in the package, and also available for purchase
through that same link.
In
addition to Stan Lee, many more comic book artists and creators are attending
the 2016 Cincinnati Comic Expo. Attendees include: Rob Liefeld (creator of
Deadpool), Steve McNiven (Marvel: Civil War), Neal Adams (Batman), Eddy Barrows
(Teen Titans), and many more. Various media and celebrity guests will also be
in the Queen City for the Expo, including Billy Dee Williams (Star Wars), Lee
Meriwether (Batman), Adam Baldwin (Firefly), John Barrowman (Arrow, Doctor
Who/Torchwood) and several more.
