Marvel Comics and The Walt Disney Company salute the life and career of Stan Lee and offer our undying gratitude for his unmatchable accomplishments within our halls. Please join us in remembering Stan 'The Man' Lee.
Stan Lee, who created worlds for readers of Marvel Comics to explore, still has a “world” ripe for exploration.In the 1960s, Lee revolutionized the comic book industry by creating or co-creating flawed-but-beloved characters who christened the so-called Marvel Age of Comics. Among those characters: Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men.
A current yearlong treasure hunt through the boxes resulted in items being plucked for the new exhibit, alias a public coming-out party for the Stan Lee Papers that will continue through Nov. 1. The attention-getting Lee exhibit should boost awareness of the center’s assets and lure Stan fans from all over. Flesher said the exhibit is something he has wanted to do for several years. Obstacle: He couldn’t devote a full-time staff member to the long-haul task of “learning” the collection and designing an exhibit with its contents.
Liam Leslie said he and Homer-Wambeam are engaged members of the university’s honors community, and it was only a matter of time before they encountered each other at an Honors College event. He said Homer-Wambeam casually mentioned the prospect of an Honors-sponsored position that would permit students to conduct archival research on the Stan Lee Papers with the intent of producing an exhibit.
“I want to say I was 7 when the Marvel Cinematic Universe started,” McLean said. “We would go see all of them. I am from Springfield, Illinois, and there was a drive-in movie theater, and we would go see the newest Marvel movies there. And so my parents were really into superheroes. My dad still collects 'Star Wars' stuff, so I come from a very nerdy family. From that, I started collecting comic books when I was a kid and still have a great deal of comic books.
McLean wanted to dig deeper into the reasons. She said there are a few folk legends that have circulated about how Wyoming landed Lee’s materials, but the credit should go to Gene Gressley, a former director of the American Heritage Center. Thrill of the huntRaise your hand if you are jealous of the students tasked with responsibility of forging an exhibit from the Stan Lee Papers.
Leslie said almost the entirety of the team’s first three months on the job was spent sifting through thousands of documents, one by one. “It was a pleasure talking with the students and learning about their vision for the Stan Lee exhibit,” Steve Higgins, managing director, American Song Archives , said. “I hope their visit to our centers was beneficial.”
“He would hand-write them first, and there were times when he would scratch things out and put things back in that were just so beautifully written,” McLean said after viewing “Stan’s Soapbox” items in the boxes. “If I featured every time Stan made my heart well up with one of these things, I would have needed 10 more museums to fill up.”
