News came out today of the passing of Marvel’s Stan Lee, at the age of 95.
You knew it was coming, but it still hurt like hell when I found out.
As the day went on (holiday for us gubment workers) I decided to watch a Marvel movie, but I couldn’t decide which one, at first. But then I remembered that we had also lost Steve Ditko, Spider-Man’s co-creator.
I ended up watching Spider-Man: Homecoming.
When Giacchino’s cover of the 1967 Spider-Man theme started, I started to cry.
Because after Superman, Spider-Man is my favorite superhero. And I never missed that cartoon when they started showing in on weekday afternoons.
Earlier this week on Facebook I referred to artist John Byrne as a God.
Stan Lee is a Titan.
“In Greek mythology, the Titans were greater even than the gods.” -Coach Boone, Remember the Titans
Sounds about right.
‘Nuff said.
