    The LA Times has announced that Stan Lee is one of nine individuals to receive the 2008 National Medal of the Arts.  The what award?  I've never heard of it.  Sounds impressive.  And he had to go to the White House to get it.  We all know how awesome Stan is.  He should be recognized for everything he's done. 

    Besides shmoozing with the President, Stan has also been gearing things up for his new company, POW! Entertainment.  He also has a new digital comic book, "Time Jumper," coming out soon, distributed by Disney's home entertainment group.

    He's a busy guy.  He still has a lot to give us.

    Stan Lee= The man. I just can't believe that this happened.  It is so weird like you would never see some guy who wrote comic books with the president of the United States.  Well this just proved to me anything can happen

    That indeed is an impressive accomplishment.  Hopefully Stan credited the other artists and writers for  enabling his success but the characters were his ideas.  Awesome.

    Haha that picture cracks me up. I'm imagining Bush asking a bunch of ridiculous questions like Mallrats & gushing over Stan as one of his favorite poets. Though I guess thats not such a bad thing since Obama is a Spider-Man nerd himself.

    I've never heard of the award.  Maybe this was the first year it was given out?  The article didn't give much information on it.  I suppose we could always try googling it.

    Nevermind, it's on wikipedia.

    ???  Just saving people the hassle of looking it up by giving the link to the article.  I never said anything was wrong with it.
