His contributions as President and Chairman of Marvel Comics and the co-creator of Spiderman, Hulk, Fantastic Four, THOR, and The X-Men will live on forever in the history of popular culture ” Stan will be at the show all day holding court, answering your questions, signing autographs, and offering once in a lifetime photo opportunities.
