28 December 1922 - 12 November 2018
Marvel Comics creator of many of their superheroes, Mr Stan Lee is dead at 95 years young. He's gone, *ever upward! To the heavens.
He will certainly be missed by many who love comics since he had created famous superheroes like Incredible Hulk, Spiderman, Captain America and others. These characters have depths in their personalities and the series is considered to be a form of modern Literature.
He became a phenomenal success and profited from his corporation since the 60's. If I am not mistaken the comic market crashed in mid-1990's and the business was affected much.
With CGI (Computer Generated Images), the heroes came alive on the giant cinema screens and the whole world of superheroes thrilled the world once more.
Stan Lee was huge in Singapore with thousands of fans buying his comics and watching movies of the superheroes he created. Even Seniors are buying up these comic books to read or collect. Local cinemas are always full when Marvel superhero movies are screened.
Stan Lee's comic characters from the covers of older booklets. The paper was newsprint and if touched for periods of time, the ink would smear on our fingers.
As a child, I started reading this colourful booklet every day but it was another superhero from a different comic label. I remember the paper was made of newsprint and had my fingers all dirty with the ink on them. But the comics were cheap. And you pay a few cents for first-class entertainment in your hands.
RIP Stan Lee. *EXCELSIOR!
Spiderman Theme Song:*
It was first produced for the TV series and elevated to full orchestration scale with Spiderman Homecoming (2017). As human beings, we can allow ourselves to improve and expand just as well. We're all superhumans one way or another.

Comic Books were cheap in the 50s and 60s. I used to buy and enjoy Tarzan, Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman and many others. If I were to preserve them carefully, I would be financially sound today.

I really enjoyed the characters he built.
His work legacy stays forever!
I know the comic characters but have not read much about him.
Stan Lee has a Charity under his name that focuses on education, literacy and the arts.
Thanks to all the above early birds who commented on this post.
Yes, I think he was very popular. I used to watch a TV series he produced,
one where he featured human beings who are superheroes in their own rights.
They included:
a man who can decipher complex information
a test pilot whose body can take 12G of force
a man who is immune to poisonous snake bites
a guy with telekinetic powers.
a thick-skulled man whose head can withstand a sledgehammer.
etc

Yes, I am Ericbronson.
It's morning time now. Just completed my breakfast. But coffee's the best part. Cheers. Another superhero just passed away sir. Stan Lee the famous artist for Spiderman and Iron Man.
I did not read as many Marvel comics as I did Mad magazines.
Heee heee.
The Louis Cha comics, I read some but I wasn't that crazy about them and I found them uncomfortably sexual for a kid, they were a bit too much.
Yes, they are actually.
I just love MAD magazines
Better than Marvel or DC
Thanks, Teng Teng for your reminder about MAD magazines.
I have totally forgotten about them.
MAD is just silly.
Even MARVEL also had sexual undertones.
Thanks for reminding me about MAD magazine.
Just love the characters.
And caricatures of famous stars too were so creative.
You can recognise instantly the celebrities the artists
were trying to represent in such cartoon-like absurdities.
RIP
