Yesterday would have been the 97th birthday of Stan Lee, the comics legend known for his innovative work with Marvel. Many people took to social media to celebrate Lee, including director Kevin Smith, who first featured Lee in one of his films back in 1995. (In fact, Lee was seen reading the script for Mallrats earlier this year in Captain Marvel, which happened to take place in ’95.) Yesterday, Smith shared a nice photo of himself with Lee and Jason Mewes and wrote about his relationship with the iconic creator. Since then, Christopher Drake, who composed the music for Smith’s film, Yoga Hosers, posted a video of Lee from the 2016 movie’s set and Smith reshared the clip.
