'Under the Influence: A Tribute to Stan Lee' art show
Adjacent Melrose Avenue businesses Golden Apple Comics and Gallery 1988 have teamed up to present an art exhibition titled “Under the Influence: A Tribute to Stan Lee.” The exhibit features the work of 100 underground and emerging artists who were invited to interpret Lee’s famous comicbook creations. The exhibit will run from Jan. 8 to Feb. 1. Lee is set to attend an opening reception on Tuesday, Jan. 8, from 7 to 11 p.m. Also part of the exhibit is a “Be a Superhero” fundraiser to benefit The Hero Initiative, in which comics pros will draw attendees at the reception and donate the proceeds to the charity org.
(Speaking of The Hero Initiative, Top Cow prexy and COO Matt Hawkins has pledged to donate $500 of his own money to the org for every book the publisher ships late in 2008. For each month in which the publisher is on time, Hawkins will give $1,000 and the org is guaranteed a minimum donation of $12,000 for the year.)
