Excelsior: A Eulogy for Stan Lee
Comic books are so much more than ink on paper.
They transport us to fantastical worlds, make us fall madly in love, and give us front row seats to the trials of good and evil. They are not only windows into the spectacular and ineffable, but also into our own personal narratives. Places where we can find solace in happy endings, solidarity through struggling characters, and insight to ourselves and the world around us. Today, the world has lost a legend. A true innovator, who paved the way for future generations of comic artists, writers, and avid readers everywhere.
Stan Lee, you will never be forgotten. Thank you for teaching us to embrace our individuality, forgive our villains, and discover the true Superheroes within ourselves.
