A celebration of the amazing, fantastic, incredible and uncanny life of Stan Lee on Wednesday, January 30 at Hollywood's iconic TCL Chinese Theatre where fans and friends will memorialize one of the greatest storytellers of all-time.

Kevin Smith, Legion M and Agents of Mayhem, in partnership with Stan Lee's POW! Entertainment, will hold a public appreciation of Stan's life and work in the Chinese theatre's forecourt. Included in the celebration will be fan-favorite speakers, an art exhibit celebrating Stan’s legacy by famed pop-culture artist Rob Prior, select costumes and props from Stan’s cameos and creations, a musical performance and a special moment of remembrance centered around Stan Lee’s hand and foot imprint.
