exclusive apparel as part of “The Centennial Collection”

Los Angeles, California – July 13, 2022 – Legion M, the world’s first fan-owned entertainment company, has announced its selection of limited edition Stan Lee merchandise, The Centennial Collection, available only at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, and at LegionM.com.

Coined as the “Godfather of Marvel Comics,” Lee was a trailblazer in the comic book universe, penning the iconic stories of Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Ant-Man, the Wasp, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, the Scarlet Witch, and Black Widow. Lee created a fantastical world that drew in millions of fans, and over the years has grown to be one of the largest fandoms in history.

“As a company that values the power of fandom, we at Legion M would like to honor and celebrate the amazing contributions Stan Lee made to his fans by launching The Centennial Collection,” said Mandy Bardisbanian, VP of Licensing & Merchandising.

Lloyd Mintz, SVP, Global Consumer Products at Genius Brands International, the company that controls the rights to the Stan Lee Universe in a joint venture with POW! Entertainment, stated: “We are excited to partner with Legion M to bring this exclusive collection of limited edition Stan Lee merchandise to the iconic creator’s legions of fans at Comic-Con this year. This is just one of many initiatives that Genius Brands has in development this year to commemorate what would have been Stan’s 100^th birthday celebration this year!”

The Centennial Collection will feature an array of t-shirts, all paying homage to the late writer, Stan Lee. Each day of San Diego Comic-Con, an exclusive t-shirt will be available for that day only, while supplies last. All merchandise will be available for purchase at Booth #3917 and on LegionM.com.
