From illustrating the adventures of Alpha Flight, the Punisher, and the X-Men at Marvel more than 30 years ago to his current position as publisher and chief creative officer of DC today, there’s no denying that Jim Lee’s career has been something special – and that’s saying nothing about his Image Comics co-founder status.

Thursday’s Spotlight on Jim Lee panel won’t just give the man behind 1991’s X-Men #1, the WildC.A.T.s (and the entire Wildstorm Universe), or Batman: Hush the chance to talk about what he’s been up to all these years, it’ll also allow fans the chance to see him create in real time, as he’s expected to be sketching live on camera during the entire thing. Think of this as an opportunity to see the magic in action – or, for those reading along, experience it vicariously through this liveblog. I promise to enthuse appropriately.

Popverse will be liveblogging the whole thing from start to finish, sharing the anecdotes, secrets and teases for what Lee has in store as quickly as possible. Bookmark this page to keep up to date, or return later to relive the panel as it happened.

Keep track of this and ALL the news from this weekend with our San Diego Comic-Con 2022 coverage round-up.
