SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON IS UPON US! And I’ve managed to squeeze out another critter. By and large I’ve made my critters based on characters from TV shows, movies, video games, you name it. But I think this might be the first time that I’ve made a critter based on a real person to bring with me to San Diego Comic-Con.
It’s our dear Generalissimo! The godfather of comic books. The man who started it all.
The thing about Stan Lee is that his story isn’t one about a man achieving his dream. He wanted to be a novelist. A “serious” writer. Comic books were never in his plan. He took on a job writing comics because he needed to put food on the table.
Little did he know that he’d become one of the most influential people in the world of comics. For a man who grudgingly took on a job because he had to, not because he wanted it, he became arguably the most beloved figure in the history of comic books.
With his signature tinted glasses and his catchphrase “Excelsior!”, I’ve made Stan into a critter to drop at San Diego Comic-Con! Find him and he’s yours to keep!
If you want to join my hunt for crocheted critters at San Diego Comic-Con this year, follow me on either twitter or facebook to track my drops! I just ask for two things if you find a critter: 1) Send me a photo of your new friend! 2) Let me know where the little buddy’s new home will be! Good luck, and happy hunting!
