I didn’t know Stan Lee but he has been a part of my life since childhood. He has had a massive influence on who I am, my passions, aspirations, values, inspiration and just about every aspect of my life.

I’m sorry we never met, you will never be forgotten, thank you! My first ongoing US Comic Collection started here. My first Comics collection started with this issue.
