Yesterday, Stan Lee got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A number of sites are reporting it as the first time anyone who wrote comic books ever got one. That's not exactly true. Charles Schulz and Joe Barbera both have stars and both wrote comic books…though obviously, that's not why they received the honor. Then again, we should remember that Stan's star wasn't for writing comic books, either. Near as I can tell, it was officially for being the Executive Producer of various movies starring characters from comic books. I guess it was also just for being Stan Lee, a part he plays quite well though personally, I always saw Sean Connery in the role.
A biz meeting prevented me from making it to the ceremony but it looks like they had a good crowd…
