I hope they find a way to keep including his cameos in the movies.  RIP

One of the great creators of our time.  He practically was Marvel.  RIP.

I never was a comic book guy or kid. Didn't interest me at all. But I remember the name Stan Lee. Best to his friends and family.

I was never a comic book person growing up. Perhaps I missed out on something. RIP.

I don't think so TF. I just have a generally healthy respect for anyone who rises to the top level of their chosen career. Even if it involves writing silly comic books. Stan Lee did that, and I'll give him credit for it. Kudos my spidey friend.

I have friends my age (60-ish) with boxes of vacuum-sealed comics and baseball cards. Seems pretty foolish to me because I've always been a coin collector. To each his own, I guess.

Don't forget Sandra Lee, who's Prince Andrew's main squeeze.

I have the complete collection of Silver Surfer - both runs.  Volume 1, No. 1 is framed on my mancave wall.  He was the coolest of the Marvel characters.

Me either but I liked a bunch of the movies based on his comics.

Even if you weren't into the comics, you had to love the guy.

That's a great vid.  Zip it Stan Lee!  Even so, his legacy goes far beyond the films clipped into that short.  His work is part of the collective consciousness of America.  He virtually defined the superhero.  For so many of us lost, outcast kids, he gave us hope.  Really.

“Silly comics” are like “silly sports”. They’re an escape and inspiration for millions.

You may even want to research their effect on culture during war times.

RIP Stan

Well, they also were the major contributor to juvenile delinquency, at least according to Dr. Frederick Wertham. I did the animation for the documentary, Comic Book Confidential, which explored the anti-comic movement and the creation of the industry censor board, the Comic Code Authority.

Here is a clip of Wertham and Bill Gaines, the publisher of EC Comics, best known for Tales of the Crypt.

I always think of this family guy bit when I hear silver surfer.

I was big into comic books as a kid up to my early teens.  I guess I'm a delinquent.  RIP Stan Lee.
