Lee, 93, claims he’s getting too old for the multiple trips across the border, and his planned visit to Fan Expo Canada for Sept. 1 – 4, 2016 will be his final sojourn to Canada.

“Well, I can’t run the marathon and win the way I used to,” said Lee to the Toronto Sun. “It’s so pleasant to go somewhere where people like you and want to hear what you have to say. It’s very flattering. But I’m 93 years old. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to do it. I want to make this one big event.”
After assuring the interviewer that he’s in good health, Lee made it clear that he wants this last trip to be something special.
