Fanboys who will be in London this April will have the rare opportunity to attend the first ever Stan Lee Awards
The Stan Lee Awards will take place at Kapow Comic Con on April 9th. These awards are "to reward the cream of comic book talent for all their creativity and imagination throughout 2010." Those words came from Stan the Man himself when asked about the ceremony over the weekend.

The Panel consisted of Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Green Hornet), Clark Duke (Kick-Ass), Christ Hewitt (Empire), MIke Rampton (Front), Samuel Roberts (SciFiNow), Jes Bickham (Comic Heroes), Robbie Collin (News of the World), Chris Tilly and Richard George (IGN), Jonah & Kiel (Comic Book Resources), Forbidden Planet Megastore London, and Damon Lindelof (Lost, Star Trek).
