Good on him.

Made and makes a lot of people happy.

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Very sad news. Remember loving Marvel comics when they debuted as dedicated British titles in the early 1970's. They were so vastly different from the typical comics I had grown up with.

His heros were flawed, and fallable but always there was hope for a better future. R. I. P Stan.
Excelsior!

One of my older brothers was in the merchant navy and brought these comic books over from the states before they were available in the UK for us to read.
He had read them so didn’t want them back after, I took them to school once we had all read them and sold them for decent coin.
Without Stan Lee my school life would have been almost chocolate biscuit free.
I like to watch all the superhero stuff whenever I can, struggling with Iron Fist though, my wife just frowns and just doesn’t get it.
RIP Mr Lee.

RIP and thanks for enhancing my childhood. As said before why many fell in love with Marvels universe it was the flaws in the heroes and the humour.

Feels like it has gone from just me and my friends loving them that I knew to billions worldwide.

Anyone who was familiar with DC Comics in the 1960s will remember what a revelation Marvel was. In contrast to the bland Superman, Batman, Flash etc, here were characters who argued with one another (Fantastic Four) and had difficult personal lives (Spider Man). Quite how much credit should go to Stan Lee as writer rather than artists such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko has always been a subject of debate - often Stan gave them the germ of an idea and they came back with the whole story drawn out and he added the dialogue - but that dialogue alone was usually worth the price of the comic.
