RIP Stan Lee, part of my life since my 10 year monthly #Hulk subscription started in 1973. I loved talking to him at Comic Cons - Stan was a wrestling fan -
and will always look forward to my children shouting out his @Marvel movie cameos. pic.twitter.com/0KV26dCv8f

Simply gutted and damned heartbroken to hear about the passing of Stan Lee. He’s had as much of an impact on my life as anyone. I started reading comics when I was very young and I’ve never stopped. The characters, the worlds, the universes that Stan helped create brought joy and entertainment to myself and millions of others all around this planet. Thank you for everything Stan! You’re a true Icon. --
