Comics legend Stan Lee dead at 95

Monday November 12, 2018. 07:54 PM , from BoingBoing
The legendary comic-book author, publisher, and film producer Stan Lee has died.

He co-created Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, the Avengers, the X-Men, Black Panther, and many more characters and imaginary worlds we've come to know through comic books, games, and movies.
He died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The news of his death was first reported by TMZ, and came from Stan's daughter.

Stan Lee, who began in the business in 1939 and created or co-created Black Panther, Spider-Man, X-Men, The Mighty Thor, Iron Man, The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Daredevil, Ant-Man and others, died Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center https://t.co/fEYNEJdzGR pic.twitter.com/Ih8FIgUvFr

Stan Lee may be known as a creator, but I think people forget how good he was as a superhero hype man. He talked with the excited energy of someone running into a diner after seeing Spider-Man swing by overhead. He sounded like he had all the secrets and couldn't wait to share.

If you haven't seen it, this is Stan Lee addressing racism in a 1968 edition of Stan's Soapbox, after the assassinations of JFK and MLK.
What an utter shame this advice holds up, word for word, 50 years later. pic.twitter.com/2zRg83QImt

RIP Stan Lee. I don't claim to be a comics expert, but Marvel's notion that heroes could also be people with neuroses and mundane, messy problems made a big difference in the American conception of heroism generally. Excelsior!

my obit for @SYFY on Stan Lee, who died today at 95. An immensely influential man who was equally controversial, his impact on comics & pop culture is hard to overstate. Rest in peace, Stan. https://t.co/yZbUp7ynmp

Stan Lee, RIP. Thanks for inspiring so many of us to pick up a pen or pencil and put your dreams onto paper. Excelsior! pic.twitter.com/L33eTjUQdI

It was my great privilege to meet Stan Lee some years ago. My life is immeasurably better for all the heroes and villains he populated it with. #rip and excelsior. pic.twitter.com/Eo9j8LhZmg

Genuinely impossible to imagine what American pop culture would look like without Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and others who gave us a new model of fairy tales where the freaks, the weirdos, and the outcasts were the heroes and not the monsters.
