Today we’ve lost Stan “The Man” Lee. While we’re all processing this grief we wanted to share what some of his friends, family, and co-workers are sharing about the man whose creations have touched so many of us over the years.
From the publishing house and studio he helped out on the map:
Today, we pause and reflect with great sadness on the passing of Stan Lee: https://t.co/J0cwgdn677 pic.twitter.com/eOBdZAqdZ0

“No one has had more of an impact on my career and everything we do at Marvel Studios than Stan Lee. Stan leaves an extraordinary legacy that will outlive us all. Our thoughts are with his daughter, his family, and his millions of fans. #ThankYouStan #Excelsior!”

“Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created. A super hero in his own right to Marvel fans around the world, Stan had the power to inspire, to entertain, and to connect." – Bob Igerhttps://t.co/x88rzoNDgx pic.twitter.com/yNORZrbQTB

To the Comic Creators out there:
I guess I'm supposed to be sad that Stan Lee has died, and I am, but I'm mostly smiling, thinking about what a kickass 95 years that was.
Rest in Peace, Mister Lee, you earned it.

As I'm sitting here trying to put words in the mouths of the characters he made immortal, characters that have literally changed my life, all I can really come up with is: Thank you, Stan.

Stan would always say, after a panel, that if I needed any work or contacts, come talk to him. I always appreciated that.

There's so much more I'd like to say. So many memories I'd like to share. My heart won't stop pounding and my eyes keep watering up. And I have to wrap up a Fantastic Four plot today. I can't think of a better way to honor him in this moment then keeping the characters alive. pic.twitter.com/oEIcyc4ajy

Stan Lee helped create the entire Marvel universe, and I thank him for that. But I mostly thank him for instilling in me the hope for heroes in the everyday world, for people who do the right thing, and who understand that responsibility comes with any power. Rest in peace, Stan. pic.twitter.com/KzhF8RYFS1

Stan Lee left this universe today. At 95 in our Earth years.
This painting is based on a photo of Stan & I. He has his arm around me in the photo and we had just been discussing writing Daredevil. It's a sentimental moment for me.

I was first interviewed for Stan Lee's obituary about 20 years ago. I was happy he defied the reaper and carried on. With Stan gone, an era really does come to an end. He was the happy huckster that comics needed. And he really did alliterate like that when you talked to him.

RIP Stan Lee. "End of an era" is one of the phrases that is over-used, but clearly the one to use here.

Even giants die. Their last gift is that we all get to keep right on standing on their shoulders.

Deeply saddened to hear of the passing of @TheRealStanLee. Like so many other kids from the 60s and 70s, his work along with the amazing writers and artists of Marvel shaped my creative world. And taught me valuable lessons like the one posted by @KarleeKanz. https://t.co/tFitTev4Jl

His contribution to Pop Culture was revolutionary & cannot be overstated. He was everything you hoped he would be & MORE. I loved this man & will never stop missing him. They say you should never meet a childhood idol. They are wrong. #RIPStanTheMan pic.twitter.com/6OKH07ahJg
