Yup.

To paraphrase: "Death hadda take 'im by ambush, 'cause alla his friends woulda shown up and whupped on Death."

Thanks for your part in the X-Men, Stan.

I cannot express fully how much he meant to as a writer and an Imaginator of dreams and ideas of the Fantastical. For ten years ( 1962-1872 ) when he was winning most of the comic book writing awards, was an interesting creative prime for him. A late start for a prime for someone writing comics at age 19.

He proved the creation of a character doesnt stop at the intial concept but grows passed Issue 2 on up.

The Magestic quality and Power of his Silver Surfer ( 1968 ) with John Bucema maybe my favorite work of his. Modern Shakespeare with Cosmic settings. Despite the fact that he Crushed it - with jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor, X-Men Etc. Etc Etc. All Great comics.

I met him once at a comic con and got him to sign my Ironman #1. I asked him what he thought was the hardest comic for him to write and in Stan Lee fashion ( a way to answer without answering ) he said, " they were all hard back then ".


He lived a full - kick ass- 95 year old life.

Oh man I am so sad. It is like losing an awesome uncle you never got to meet.

During a period of time when I was 10-18, Marvel comics was probably 80% of my leisure reading.

I might actually cry when I see Lee's final cameo's in the movies. I'm happy he enjoyed a second act, and re-introduced his work to a new generation of fans.

Anyone else a fan of Stan Lee here at Classic MARVEL Forever?

I met and spoke to him at LAX in (about) 92. He was warm, funny and enthusiastic about everything I said. Great guy

I regret never having had the opportunity to meet The Man.

RIP Stan Lee!

Maybe someone on this site could right up a faserip profile for Stan Lee as a memorial.

Stan Lee... power of Ultimate Skill - Imagination.

Stan Lee appeared in the comics right from the beginning, as did Steve Ditko, Jack Kirby and even Wally Wood. And then Stan Lee has appeared again in the Issue #0 of the Silver Surfer and the 2000s Fantastic Four. Well worthy of a FASERIP writeup in my opinion.

I regret that I never met Mr. Lee but I've spoken with a few who did have that priviledge. The man was a class act and always gracious to fans. We miss you, sir, and thank you for creating and shepherding a universe for us all to play and relax in.
