Stan Lee: Marvel Comics co-creator dies aged 95

[Freedom]

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.

R.I.P to the comic legend.


The SJW's have celebrated his passing....why? Well their a heartless bloodthirsty mob dead set on ruining everything so when he declined to make Spider-Man black and bisexual and said "Create your own characters" (true story) they decided he was a horrible no good old white man full of toxic masculinity and all that other bullshit they are programmed to spout.


All I can say was he had a great imagination, he entertained countless people, and he was seemingly a very nice hospitable person.

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.

Crazy how it's carried over and they intend it to. I have yet to watch the last major release and have the feeling that it's only because so many aspects were spoiled before it showed up on Prime video. And now the returns may be 'spoiled' because they've already released names and franchise sequels .

actually trying to think of a comic superhero who's been snuffed out and stayed that way, a major one at least.

True Spiderman, Batman, Captain America, Torch and even Hulk have died but been reprised recently.
