I was looking for excelsior tagged stuff on Twitter and there's quite a lot you'd expect there (the poor football team barely rates mention right now for some reason), but also a lot of weird stuff like: - Vietnam's largest newspaper - The official nVidia GT account - The Richard Dawkins Foundation - GameStop - NASA - The Golden Globe Awards - TheRealElvira Either the guy touched very diverse array of lives, or the tweeter bots are just following a wave I'm not sure.

NASA, Gamestop, and Nvidia are crowded with nerds who probably have shelves filled with comic books, not to mention the games based on Marvel characters and that at least one person must've joined a space program after reading some cosmic stories. Golden Globes probably based on some adaptations. Richard Dawkins and Elvira are stumping me.

It's a stage-name of course but yeah, she hosted a late-night movie thing on LA TV for years as the character and parlayed that into a pretty long cult career.

I legit would not be the person I am today without Stan Lee and Marvel Comics, and I don't think I'm the only person in this thread who can say that. Yesterday was my birthday, and my daughter's daycare was closed, so I spent the day with her. We went out on a little daddy/daughter adventure (read: Five Guys & Barnes and Noble), and in the middle of it my wife called and asked if I'd looked at Facebook in the last hour. She wanted to be the one to tell me so she could soften the blow. It's a kick, all right, but I find that I'm not sad, or not only sad. Mostly, I'm just goddamn grateful for the contribution he made to this world, and to my life. God bless that wonderful, crazy old man.

I was thinking it'd be nice to just collect every single con style photo with Stan Lee and put them in one place. Omitted from my list above were tonnes of random people just linking their con photos; I think that would have a powerful effect to see them all in place, maybe made up onto one of those photo mosiacs.

Sorry if this is old news, but I was nosing around and found this: https://www.inverse.com/article/30919-marvel-stan-lee-cameos-uatu-mcu-avengers In a nutshell, Marvel honcho Kevin Feige confirmed the fan theory that the movie version of Lee is the Watcher.

A bit of cosmic timing with the last issue of Mister Miracle coming out today with it's last appearance of Stan Lee pastiche, Funky Flashman. (note what I'm pretty sure is Mister Miracle's baby trying to say "excelsior.") Here are a couple of articles on the character: http://wmqcomics.com/news/carseatcovers041818/ https://comicbook.com/dc/2018/08/02/mister-miracle-10-stan-lee-jack-kirby-fantastic-four/

Random Stranger posted:So I guess I need to share my Stan Lee story. I'm sure that any comic book nerd who has been to enough conventions has one like this, but here's mine. Dude, I was there too, except I'm 99% sure it was 1992 because I bought the first-ever Cable action figure there. Do you remember a large Q&A session with Stan? I was 13 or 14, and I asked him what was he thinking about when he created the X- Men. He thought about it and said "I must have been drunk!"

Jack said "You have nothing to reproach yourself about" to Stan on the radio while wishing him a happy birthday in the 80's (Jack called in, it's in that Untold Marvel book). That's a little creepy and weird.

A dude I work with said that his favorite character that Lee created was the Punisher and i am not proud of the mix of profanity and nerd trivia that escaped my lungs at maximum volume.

I didn't get to go to the panel since that was the first show where I was selling comics! Wanted to post some great Lee stuff so it wasn't just about myself and beside this:  I wound up rereading FF #51 again which is probably the best writing Stan did in the 1960's but there's no easy moment to pull out. Pretend I just grabbed a panel of Ben feeling sorry for himself and posted it here.

Heck he's indirectly responsible for Super Sentai being a thing thanks to the licensing deal Marvel did with Toei back in the late 70's which lead to the Japanese Spider-Man show, which in turn inspired Toei to add a Giant Robot to Battle Fever J(which originated as a "Captain Japan" concept), indeed that series(and the two series following it; Denjiman and Sun Vulcan) had a joint copyright between the two companies because of that Notably Stan had wanted to try to bring Super Sentai to the US during the early 80's

Congratulations go to Vox for waiting almost 5 days to run the expected take: The popular refrain is that without Lee, Marvel’s superheroes would never have become such beloved fixtures of popular culture. But in the comic book industry there’s a more tempered version of that refrain: that Lee, for a long time, took most of the credit and usually left very little to spare for the co-creators, partners, and artists he worked with along the way.

“When you write good stories and do good artwork, don’t I sign it?” is a pretty great burn, though. Stan’s branding was so important that his credit always came first even on the books that he was only editing. Seeing that always bothers me a little in a way that the “Stan Lee Presents” banners Marvel had later on don’t, even though they’re functionally the same thing. Edit: I liked this interview Sean Howe posted. It has a very  moment at the beginning where Stan talks about quitting a gig where he wrote advance obituaries because it was too depressing to write about living people in the past tense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=areUni1_j9U Servoret fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Nov 15, 2018 |
