Is Stan Lee The Hardest Working 87 Year Old In Comics?

And I think I've got it busy next week, flying half way across the globe, meeting with foreign publisher representatives on behalf of Avatar, reporting from the show for Bleeding Cool, appearing on a panel or two, pitching my new comic with Watchmensch artist Simon Rohrmuller and licking Ben Templesmith's face again.

But I'm a 37 year old Englishman with a spring in my step, if a slight more heft round the waist.

This is Stan Lee's San Diego schedule:

Thursday

2:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Stan Lee Signing – Drawing for Line Tickets expected to begin at 9:15 am Thursday in the Autograph Area
AA2

3.00pm – 3.30 pm
Stan Lee Signing – Marvel Booth (#2329)

See that's a relaxing start. Half an hour here, half an hour there, helps the man exercise his wrist a little, start the old charm working, easing in.
