An interview with Stan Lee’s wife
There’s nothing quite as exciting as a wonderful woman who supports her comic genius. After finding this video on YouTube, we had to share it with our League!
Introducing – The League of Comic Book Widows
The League of Comic Book Widows is now being formally introduced!
The League of Comic Book Widows is an organization dedicated to helping men and women find their niche within the geek community. The group has been specifically designed to introduce unique aspects of the culture to those who feel they don’t have a place among the enthusiasts.
Many of our Comic Book Widows have discovered how to adapt the culture to include their personal interests. This has proven essential in supporting our loved ones with their various interests. Our mission is to help bridge any gaps between the two sides of the equitation.
Everyone is welcome!
We welcome geeks with open arms. We invite everyone to join us in building a strong community. We believe the more we interact, the more we will break stereotypes and gain mutual understanding.
Please visit us on Facebook. We have a fan page, and you can become a member of an interactive facebook group.
Follow us on twitter for information on upcoming events and activities!
We look forward to you joining us as we share and find new interests in the geek community!
