Rob Zombie took to Instagram and shared a picture of himself with Lee saying, “Only got to meet Stan ‘the man’ Lee once but it was a fucking thrill. Marvel Comics was one of the best things I remember about being a kid. Thanks for everything. What would we have done without you? #ripstanlee #marvelcomics #spiderman #hulk #fantasticfour”
Stan Lee was one of the architects of our childhoods. What he & his band of astounding co-creators did was incalculable. Peter Parker & Spider-Man were THERE for US. If you are a Comic Book Person – the passing of An Age Is Upon Us. It might not be Ragnarok… but it’s CLOSE! https://t.co/b8oZN4LDnI
