Congratulations to Stan Lee and all the Disney Legends Awards winners for 2017.
Kirby passed away in 1994, so his son accepted his award on his behalf, but Stan “The Man” was on hand to accept his Disney Legends honor.
The Marvel portion of the event honored two of the comics company’s most important creators: Writer and editor Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby.
A big part of every D23 convention is the Disney Legends Awards, where the company honors its own and celebrates artists and executives who have made major contributions to the Walt Disney Company. This year’s honorees include Oprah Winfrey, Mark Hamill, and the late Carrie Fisher.
