This is the good side of celebrity.

QuoteA 9-year-old Wichita boy's dreams came true at Planet Comicon in Kansas City, Mo.

Vincent Manning got to meet his hero, Stan Lee, the comic book writer, editor, publisher and former president and chairman of Marvel Comics.

Vincent said his dream is to become a comic book artist, and Lee wrote Vincent's favorite comic, "Spider-Man."

When Vincent first met Lee last month, "I wanted to pass out," Vincent said. "When the doors opened, it looked like (Lee) was being lit up."

Vincent was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and pancreatic insufficiency in 2014 after 37 trips to the hospital that year alone, according to Vincent's mom, Amanda Bacon.
