Stan Lee's Passing
I'm full of melancholy mourning Stan Lee's passing. I was so
fortunate to have met Stan 4 times, thrice in Calgary (2012, 2013, 2017, I missed him in 2016), and once in
Edmonton (2015). Each time he visited, I made and gave him an issue of a
custom comic book "Stan Lee: Movie Star" as a thank you for visiting us.
Stan was so great with the fans. In that short 15-30 seconds you had with him at his autograph table, or in a photo op, he really made you feel special. After giving Stan the first book in 2012, he emailed me the next day, thanking me. "Clever as hell and really well done." And the following year, he thanked me again for Issue #2. Stan really knew how to make fans feel fantastic!
I have the book, photo, and his email framed in a place of honour in my home.

Upon learning of Stan's passing, I've started Issue #5 - Stan Lee -
Movie Star - In Memoriam. Sadly, this time, I only need 1 copy.
See you in the next multi-verse Stan! Thank you for so many years of Excelsior!
PS: Thanks to my friend Russell interviewing me this morning about Stan. Here's Russell's blog post about Stan's passing.
