Hello All!
(I almost missed this one)

If Stan Lee revolutionized the comic book world in the 1960s, which he did, he
left as big a stamp - maybe bigger - on the even wider pop culture landscape of
today.
Think of "Spider-Man," the blockbuster movie franchise and Broadway spectacle.
Think of "Iron Man," another Hollywood gold-mine series personified by its star,
Robert Downey Jr. Think of "Black Panther," the box-office superhero smash that
shattered big screen racial barriers in the process.
And that is to say nothing of the Hulk, the X-Men, Thor and other film and
television juggernauts that have stirred the popular imagination and made many
people very rich.
If all that entertainment product can be traced to one person, it would be Stan
Lee, who died in Los Angeles on Monday at 95. From a cluttered office on
Madison Avenue in Manhattan in the 1960s, he helped conjure a lineup of
pulp-fiction heroes that has come to define much of popular culture in the early
21st century.
Regards,
Roger
