Rest in peace Stan. He absolutely had a profound impact on who I am today. My mom got me a subscription to Marvel comics when my reading was below average in 2nd grade. By the end of 3rd grade I was at the top of the class. There is a wonderful interview with Stan somewhere and he talks about how they purposely wrote the stories and dialogue that wouldo help develop vocab and reading comprehension in younger kids - in addition to writing fun storylines with kick butt characters. He has definitely left his mark on the world and will be remembered for a long, long time. Hoping they do something special with Avengers 4 to celebrate him. Excelsior!
