Neil Gaiman put it best, that Stan was the "happy huckster comics needed". https://twitter.com/neilhimself/status/1062068115641655300 I'm going to feel lovely about Stan's passing for a while. I figured out a while back that, directly and indirectly, he may have been responsible for more of my happy moments in this lifetime than any other individual. His reach in comics, movies, TV shows, and all those creatives who got their start in those fields, and all those who were then inspired by them in turn... he was the rock whose ripples through modern artistic endeavour will be felt for a very long time. An absolute titan. Excelsior, you magnificent bastard.

This headline from The Onion is surprisingly touching. A little cheeky, but Stan would have approved. https://twitter.com/TheOnion/status/1062068790949756928 Plus this from the man himself. https://twitter.com/carlquintanilla/status/1062063827557191681

Spider-Man really was Stan's best writing work in my opinion. He wrote the first one hundred consecutive issues, and they hold up so much better than the very early runs of the other heroes from that era. Not just hold up, they're grand. Hell, writing one hundred issues of anything is a feat by itself, but this was while he was simultaneously writing, editing, and co-creating how many other funny books? The boy was a goddamn machine in the '60s.
