Historical Note

The Stan Lee Memorabilia collection relates to Stan Lee- an American comic book writer, editor, publisher, and former president and chairman of Marvel Comics. The American Heritage Center worked with student interns and the University of Wyoming to produce both the Stan Lee Exhibit and the Stan Lee SuperCon event at the University. This collection commemorates materials created by artists like Alex Saviuk for these events, as well as guest speaker, Kim Luperi, a former Stan Lee employee who gave a talk at the AHC during the exhibit’s run.
