Stan Lee Dead at 95

1922 - 2018

Stan Lee got Marvel Comics up & running again in the 1960's, creating such heroes as Spider Man, Iron Man and the Fantastic Four. Just across the alley from the house I grew up in was Robert's Liquor Store which had a comics rack. I had bought comics before, such as Magnus Robot Fighter and M.A.R.S. Patrol but if memory serves I was hooked on Marvel when I bought Fantastic Four #69. I collected and read comics till the 1980's, which was to me when Marvel's Silver Age of comics ended.

Comics and the influence they had on me helped shaped the person I am today. I was introduced to CONAN via Marvel Comics and the series of Lancer paperbacks being published at the time. Comics are very different now and I would tell people to read the older ones, for the artwork and story's.

EXCELSIOR Stan and Thank You!
