The great Stan Lee who created such masterpiece characters as The Fantastic Four,Iron Man,X-men,and Doctor Strange and has his cameos in his creations movies will be the 2,428 celebrity to recieve a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
He will officially recieve his star on Tuesday January 4th in front of the Live Nation Building at 11:30.
Walk of Fame press has released this as to why Lee is getting a star since comics is not one of their categories and that Stan Lee is the first person ever from the comics industry to get a star:
In 1981 Stan Lee transformed his Spider-Man and Hulk creations into Saturday morning and syndicated television cartoons. When Marvel Comics and Marvel Productions were acquired by New World Entertainment in 1986, Stan’s horizons expanded even further, giving him the opportunity to become more deeply involved in the creation and development of filmed projects for both the big and small screen. He supervised such diverse animated series as X-Men, Spider-Man and The Hulk. To date, Stan’s characters have populated over 24 separate television series, all of which continue in syndication around the world.
Personally he had this a long time coming.
