Stan Lee honored on what would have been 100th birthday

Yesterday marked what would have been the 100th birthday of the legendary artist and comic book visionary Stan Lee. His friends and fans took to social media to mark the occasion.

Stan Lee was a prolific writer, editor, and publisher who co-created many of the most iconic and beloved characters in the Marvel Universe. Born Stanley Martin Lieber in New York City in 1922, Lee began his career in the comics industry as an assistant at Timely Comics, which would later become Marvel Comics. Over the course of his career, Lee worked on numerous titles and franchises, including The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and The X-Men, and was instrumental in developing the concept of the Marvel Universe as a cohesive, interconnected narrative. Lee passed away in 2018, but his legacy as a pioneer in the comics industry lives on.

Guardians director and now head of the DCEU, James Gunn, marked the date by posting photos of the pair together on his Instagram along with the message: “Happy 100th Birthday to Stan Lee. You are missed, my friend.”

Renowned comic book super-fan and legendary director Kevin Smith Tweeted, “

Today, @TheRealStanLee would’ve turned 100 years old! The @Marvel maestro was always a hero of mine, but thanks to making MALLRATS with him, we actually became friends! I miss the Old Man and his endless parade of smiles and good cheer. Happy Birthday, Emperor of Excelsior!

Stan Lee’s Twitter account also posted about the 100th birthday milestone, and encouraged others to share their fond memories of Stan.

“Over the last century, his work changed the pop culture landscape & influenced millions,” the account tweeted. “We’re thankful that your support will keep Stan’s memory alive for years to come.”

The outpouring of love and support shows that Lee’s legacy extends beyond the world of comics. He is remembered as a cultural icon who helped to popularize the superhero genre and inspire countless fans with his imagination and creativity. Excelsior Stan!
