Stan Lee , like so many of us , was a kind of surrogate parent for a lot of us misguided juveniles during the silver age of comics . He was a visionary and a pioneer . I owe a lot to him for personally shaping my childhood fantasy worlds , my appreciation for art on all levels , and for teaching me humanness and humility through his wonderfully insightful stories . He was one in a million . He will be missed . Long Live FOOM ! Long Live Stan Lee !

I really don’t have words to describe what Stan meant to me. I don’t know how to quantify what his imagination meant/means to my life. Everything I have ever done creatively has been influenced by The Man, a constant in my life for 50 years. In The Man’s own words, “‘Nuff said.” #Excelsior #MMMS #FOOM #SOAPBOX #StanLee

To Stan Lee: Thank you for making my childhood so much more exciting with your astonishing superhero characters. Thank you for inspiring me to think and dream big. Thank you for the Hulk, Thor, Fantastic Four and many others. You will be sadly missed. RIP.

In 1981, Lee turned his heroes into animated cartoons shown by TV stations.

When Marvel Comics and Marvel Productions were acquired by New World Entertainment in 1986, the comic book horizons were further expanded.

Lee had the opportunity to become more deeply involved in the creation and development of films and tv shows. He constantly made appearances in the studio productions.

“My father loved all his fans, he was the best man and the most decent man,” commented the daughter of the editor, Joan Celia Lee.
