Stan Lee Gets a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame
Everyone’s favourite Silver Age comic creator, Stan Lee, has been honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! Lee, who turned 88 last week, jokingly asked why he had to wait 50 years after the first star was awarded, and 70 years after his comic book career began.
Talking to CNN, lee said that “I’m pretty proud of the fact that some of the stories I wrote so many years ago are still being read and hopefully enjoyed by the public and people are making motion pictures based on them, and television series and even a Broadway show,” going on to say that his favourite creation is Spider-Man “because he’s the most popular and he’s known and loved worldwide, but I really loved them all and whichever one I was writing at the moment, that was my favorite.”
Lee’s star was the 2,428th placed on the Walk of Fame.
