Tutto il mondo dei fumetti e del cinema si è rattristato alla notizia che la leggenda della Marvel Comics Stan Lee fosse morto all’età di 95 anni. Ora tutta Hollywood gli rende omaggio sui social e dal vivo, come potete vedere qui sotto.
Nato con il nome di Stanley Martin Lieber nel 1922, è conosciuto come co-creatore della maggior parte dei personaggi principali della genesi dell’Universo Marvel, tra cui The Incredible Hulk, The Mighty Thor, The Invincible Iron Man, The Astonishing Ant-Man e The Uncanny X-Men al fianco di Jack Kirby. Con Steve Ditko ha co-creato Doctor Strange e Spider-Man (probabilmente il personaggio più iconico della compagnia), così come Daredevil con Bill Everett. Ha anche rianimato i vecchi eroi di Timely degli anni ’40 tra cui Sub-Mariner e Joe Simon e Jack Kirby’s Captain America. Il gruppo di team The Avengers seguì nel 1963. Mentre altri personaggi iconici seguirono tra cui The Inhumans, Silver Surfer, Black Panther (il primo supereroe nero nei fumetti mainstream) e The Falcon, i principali contributi creativi di Lee nei primi anni 60 formarono il nucleo di Marvel Comics.
No one has had more of an impact on my career and everything we do at Marvel Studios than Stan Lee. Stan leaves an extraordinary legacy that will outlive us all. Our thoughts are with his daughter, his family, and his millions of fans. #ThankYouStan #Excelsior!

Stan Lee created a universe where, if a character was beloved enough, they could never really die.
Now THAT’S thinking ahead.
Thanks for so much of my life. You’ll never not be in it.

There will never be another Stan Lee. For decades he provided both young and old with adventure, escape, comfort, confidence, inspiration, strength, friendship and joy. He exuded love and kindness and will leave an indelible mark on so, so, so many lives. Excelsior!!

What a man. What a life.
When I first broke into Hollywood, he welcomed me with open arms and some very sage advice I’ll forever take to heart.
A true icon who impacted generations around the world.

His contribution to Pop Culture was revolutionary & cannot be overstated. He was everything you hoped he would be & MORE. I loved this man & will never stop missing him. They say you should never meet a childhood idol. They are wrong. #RIPStanTheMan pic.twitter.com/6OKH07ahJg
