Stan Lee is dead at age 95.If his chosen field had been other than comic books he would have been hailed as a creative genius. My son met him while putting on a comic convention. We became aquainted with him and spent many an afternoon having lunch with him. Every innovation from graphic novels to movies were either thought up by him or innovated by him. His untiring effort to turn comic book superheroes into movie icons was a struggle that took many years, but once those characters burst upon the big screen they soared up with the really big money makers. Rather than saying "I told ya so, he insisted that he appear in every Marvel Studio movie. It was an aspect of his unremitting sense of humor. Farewell swee prince, may the earth lay lightly upon you.
