It seems as though Stan Lee, the creator of celebrated fictional characters such as Spider-Man and Hulk, has come back from the dead to embrace new Web3 technology and sell his graphic novel’s NFT collection.
The Chakraverse collection is based on Chakra The Invincible, a superhero created by Lee in 2012. The first NFT collection will contain 6,880 unique artworks from the comic, representing the original characters. Orange Comet, the next-generation content studio that uses Polygon blockchain, is the creator of the collection inspired by Lee.
From championing diversity to embracing new tech, Stan was 1 step ahead of the curve. To honor his innovative spirit, Stan's 1st Indian hero, Chakra The Invincible, debuts in his own NFT (digital art) collection from 7:30pm PT 12/27-12pm PT 12/29!
