They'll just reboot him in an alternate universe

He was truly a legend. In any discussion of Marvel vs DC, it was always Stan Lee's name that came up as the difference. R.I.P. Stan.

RIP to a legend.

I liked Thor when I was a kid. This is the first one I ever bought:



I especially liked Tales of Asgard, I remember reading this compilation several times:



Comics went downhill after 1970 or so, or did I just become too grown-up to appreciate them? When other writers like Roy Thomas replaced Stan Lee and mediocre artists took over from Jack Kirby, I stopped buying comic books.

Have to love how he made and gifted the ultimate transition of his creation. Lee was about the story telling. We started on smaller print heavy comic books for 50 cents and now anticipate million dollar Marvel sequels regularly.

I started collecting marvel comics when I started secondary school at 12 in the early 1980's. Still have all my collection and never bought DC.

I have that Thor 132 comic @Freedom cost me £24 which is probably worth more now.

Still buy today and my kids are into it too. Loved the Marvel franchise and movies being seen by younger generations.

The characters never age, Tony Start should be 80 and Spiderman 60 by now.

Loved the fact that Stan Lee was in the movies.

I don't think comics went downhill, I just think people got tired of the superhero thing and nobody staying dead.

Look at some of the creator owned content like Dark Horse or Image. Image especially has been producing quality stuff for the last couple of decades.
