 Gail Simone's thread about Stan Lee is really good and worth a read.

His brother already drew it, he'll probably write it now as well. Or they'll get Peter David to do it, he's been doing adaptations for Marvel for years.

Well his brother writes it too, let's not kid ourselves.

 "You draw really good wires" is the still the best line I've ever heard.

 Roy Thomas saw Stan this past weekend, one of the last people besides his family to see him probably.

Roy Thomas posted:

I’m sadder than I can say that Stan has died… even though I know, from my recent phone conversations with him, that he was more than ready to leave this Earth. I’m so grateful that, by sheer circumstance, I got to spend a half hour or so with him this past Saturday, less than 48 hours before he passed away.

At that time, it was obvious that he lacked much of the old Stan Lee energy that everybody had got to know at conventions and in movie cameos, but when I asked him about future cameos, he expressed a real interest in making them, if he could find a way to do it without their being too much trouble. He asked me about Dann and all the animals on our place (Dann had, at his request, sent him a DVD we made for him a couple of years ago), and got fairly animated when talking about his battles with publisher Martin Goodman over doing Spider-Man.

I opined as how maybe the one important creative decision Goodman ever made was when he commissioned Stan to create a super-hero group back in 1961. Stan seemed to get a kick out of that. He posed for a couple of pictures with me, and then the last one with me and my friend and manager John Cimino, who had worked (in concert with Stan’s buddy and handler Jon Bolerjack) to arrange for Stan and me to get together one more time. But I wish I could look forward to seeing him and sparring around with him again. Still, I consider myself so very lucky to have known and worked with him for so many years… one of the most important mythmakers of the 20th century.

By the by, Liefeld has a very lovely tribute to Stan on his Instagram.

Rob was one of the creators that visited Stan frequently in his last few years. They actually had a really good friendly relationship.

I was gonna ask how much actual comics writing he had done after the 70s but if I'm reading this right he had been writing newspaper Spider-Man for over 40 years? Is that true?

He’s credited, but no.

 That character actually became a real thing and even had a hideous toy!

 Oh it's one of those "Terrible person makes a valid point" moments. I hate those.
