The Toyark staff is heartbroken to learn that Marvel legend & pop culture icon Stan Lee has passed away at the age of 95. News reports have been pouring in with the news and the comics community is taking the news very hard. Stan Lee worked with numerous artists, such as Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby to help create some of Marvel’s most recognizable heroes and villains. Thanks to Stan’s numerous collaborations, we have the likes of the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk and more. So much will be written about Stan Lee in the days and weeks to come. We’ll simply leave you with one of his enduring quotes:
” I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: Entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain people, you’re doing a good thing.”
