STAN LEE - (1922-2018)

Legendary Comic Book producer and cultural icon, STAN LEE died on this day at 95 years of age.
STAN LEE was a comic book writer, editor, and publisher. He was editor-in-chief of MARVEL COMICS, and later its publisher and chairman, leading its expansion from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.
In collaboration with several artists, particularly Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he co-created many memorable super-heroes including Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Black Panther, the X-Men and in collaboration with writer Larry Lieber, Ant-Man, Iron Man and Thor.

I must admit I've never been a fan of super-hero adventures and my comic book collection holds very few Marvel and Super-Hero oriented titles, but Stan Lee's influence was strong and his contribution to the history of science fiction and fantasy comics is unquestionable.  He will surely be missed by his millions of followers!

Rest In Peace, Mr. STAN LEE!

One of my few super-hero books, Stan Lee's ORIGINS OF MARVEL COMICS is a priced item of my book collection. This is the 1974 edition!

THE 2017 NEW YORK COMIC CON!

New York Comic Con is the East Coast's largest pop culture convention and the only one that takes place in the comic book, publishing, media, and licensing capital of the world — Gotham City.
Antonio, my little five year old grandson, who is a big comic book reader, attended the event wearing his Spiderman costume and made the scene with several Cosplayers!













Going back home by ferry, after a full day of fun and excitement!
