Wife of Stan Lee past away yesterday.
Man, they were together forever and honestly without her, there would've been no Marvel.
Sure Stan gets more credit than Kirby by the non-informed, like all of us old guys were for so long. Growing up with Stan being so front and center ... he was THE Marvel image for us. And I am not trying to now pile on and say Stan was nothing because, of course, that is simply not true, but yeah, much like Kirby, without Joan and her telling Stan to stay when he was ready to walk out, there would never have been the rip off of Kirby's other creation Challengers of the Unknown ... the Fantastic Four.
Thanks Joan. For my childhood, thanks
