Yeah that doc was great. And of course Steve using his original art for cutting boards. He was a kooky genius.

While we're mentioning Stan Lee cameos, his Simpsons appearance was great.
"Broke, or made it better?"

I just can't get over what it must have *felt* like to be him.
The dude was showered by adoring fans, seemingly all the time, for decades. Decades of people saying "Stan! Spider-Man taught me responsibility" or "Stan! The X-Men taught me tolerance!" or "Stan, Black Panther was the first time I saw a superhero who looked like me!" or a million other things. He touched the lives of hundreds of millions of people, and for many years, those people were folks like me who felt like nobody understood them. And they/we thanked him. Constantly. For half a century.
For decades, he didn't charge a cent for autographs. He'd show up at every major convention (and plenty of minor ones) and sign for hours, asking no money from his fans (and minimal compensation from the show organizers).
So, again, I wonder, what must it have felt like to be him. To have contributed so much to pop-culture. To have GENERATIONS of people showing genuine thanks and appreciation.
I cannot possibly fathom a better feeling. He must have been the most content person in the world for a VERY long time. To know that he was loved and appreciated, to know that inspired several different genres of entertainment, and that his work and legacy would live on probably longer than the human race itself. I want know know what that felt like. Few people ever have. Fewer still ever will.
I know a lot of people wish they could have met him. Could have thanked him and told him what he meant to them, to their lives. But he knew. He totally knew. And he was happy for it. We'll remember Stan Lee forever. He'll be making cameos in our lives, seen or unseen, until the very end.

I've not heard one bad story of someone who has met him. He always seems so grateful that people love his creations.

My favorite Stan Lee cameo was still Mallrats and his keeping of the ultimate superhero secret: If the Thing's dork is made of orange rock like the rest of his body. "Oh, lots of women. Jagger and me, we had a running contest to see who had the most. As a matter of fact, last time I looked I was WAY ahead!" DAMN, that's hot!

This was a huge blow as I'm a massive spidey fan. I kick myself now for not going to a convention in San Antonio while I was in AIT with the army. Some of my friends went and I was so jealous. He made my childhood what it was, and the characters he co created caused my imagination to be what it is, and reading Spider-Man got me into science. I knew it was coming but still it's rough not having his positive speeches pop up. Also I think his best cameo is civil war, with the Tony Stank line. But so many of the cameos were great. Apparently he was supposed to have a cameo in Blade as a vampire elder.

American comics pioneer Stan Leepassed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Monday. He was 95. Lee was opened a whole new world of entertainment at Marvel Comicsas the creative behind Iron Man, X-Men, Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Mighty Thor, The Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and Ant-Man. His timeless heroic characters have inspired people around the world and Japan is no exception. Anime and manga industry creatives shared their memories and condolences in Lee's passing. Voice actor Junichi Suwabe wrote, "Stan Lee has passed away... I express my condolences." JoJo's Bizarre Adventure animation director Kohei Ashiya wrote, "Thank you for all the dreams, hopes, and heroes, Mr. Stan Lee! I suppose you'll be looking over the heroes you birthed from heaven. Smiling at the cameos." Hirona Murata, a voice actor and idol in Stan Lee and Hiroshi Nagahama's The Reflection anime series wrote, "Thank you for working alongside us and giving us hopes and dreams. We at 9nine will always treasure how we met you through THE REFLECTION anime." Manga artist and former assistant to Shotaro Ishinomori, Masato Hayasewrote, "Ah, Stan Lee has passed away... I've hung up the Spider-Man illustration board I received from him in Ishinomori-sensei's room ... I pray for Stan Lee's happiness in the next world." Metal Gear Solid and Death Strandingvideo game director Hideo Kojima shared a picture from his studio Kojima Productions. Silent Möbius and Nadesico manga artist Kia Asamiya wrote, "My heart sank at the news of Stan Lee's passing. I remember just like yesterday when I met him by coincidence at a Californian diner, and he encouraged me to do my best. This was before my work on Uncanny X-Men. Thank you. I express my condolences." Saber Marionette J character designer Tsukasa Kotobuki shared artwork he drew of Stan Lee sitting on the shoulder of Leopardon from Toei's Japanese live-action Spider-Man television series. Many of the Marvel Comics franchises Lee helped create have been adapted for television and film, including some anime. Madhouse produced anime adaptations of X-Men, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Blade. Toei Animationproduced the Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers anime for the Japanese market. Spider-Man and X-Men manga have also inspired manga adaptations, and Spider-Man inspired a 1978 Toeitokusatsu series. Famously, Lee had cameo appearances in many screen adaptations of Marvel comics.

I wonder if this means the end of the Spider-Man newspaper comic, from what I've seen Stan was working on that up until his death.
