Fans Remember Stan Lee Following His Passing

Today, the world is mourning the loss of a true icon. Stan Lee, the legendary comic book writer behind many of Marvel’s most famous heroes, has died. Now, fans around the world are taking a moment to honor the icon, and emotions are running high over the sudden loss.

According to reports by TMZ, Lee passed away early Monday morning. His daughter J.C. relayed the information shortly after an ambulance was summoned to Lee’s Hollywood Hills home. The writer was then rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he’s said to have passed away.

Over on Twitter, Stan Lee has quickly dominated conversation with fans. The report caught many off-guard, but ensuing reports regarding Lee’s passing are beginning to come in. Not long ago, J.C. quickly shared a short statement addressing Lee’s death which can be found below:

“My father loved all of his fans. He was the greatest, most decent man.”

For fans, Lee’s legacy is one that cannot be ignored as the comic icon helped turned Marvel into the juggernaut it is today. The writer famously teamed up with Jack Kirby in 1961 to create The Fantastic Four, the first great superhero ensemble under Marvel.
