As most are probably already aware of, Stan Lee, the man behind so many of our favorite comic book heroes like The Hulk, Fantastic Four, Black Panther and most notably Spider-Man, has passed away at the age of 95 yesterday..
We will never forget you, Stan, you will always be an inspiration to aspiring comic book writers and artists around the world and to many others as well.
I'll share here this quote from Stan about how he used to feel about writing comic books:
"I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain people, you’re doing a good thing."
And indeed, he is right about that entertainment is one of the most important things in our lives, it can help to bring a smile and even laughs to those who need it, many of the comics he's written have had some pretty funny moments in them along with heartwarming moments shared by the heroes in them.
