Yesterday (12th) was a sad day as the legendary writer, editor, and publisher Stan Lee passed away at the age of 95. TMZ reported an ambulance fled to his Hollywood Hills home early yesterday morning and was rushed to Cedar-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The Marvel Comics legend, known for his superhero creations including The Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man, and The Avengers, etc. had suffered through different illnesses including pneumonia over the last year or longer. Comics are a significant influence in film, video games, and had made an outstanding impact on music. Many bands in the rock and metal community have reacted to the shocking news including Guns N’ Roses, KISS, Alice Cooper, Kirk Hammett, Yoshiki and more.
Stan Lee was a visionary and a pioneer. I owe a lot to him for personally shaping my childhood fantasy worlds, my appreciation for art on all levels, & for teaching me humanness and humility through his wonderfully insightful stories. He will be missed. Long Live FOOM ! pic.twitter.com/coMUHWXGKV

STAN LEE is one of the main inspirations for me and through that to The 69 Eyes. Our album ”Devils” is named by @FrankMillerInk’s Daredevil The Man Without Fear issue #169 saga. You’ve seen my Amazing Spiderman ring. Here’s a shot of my recent comics. ’Nuff said! RIP. J69 X pic.twitter.com/3FIigIupHQ
