Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted August 26, 2006 Just watched the Fantastic 4 on DVD - not a bad film as superhero live action goes. Stan Lee does his usual cameo as a postman this time.Hell, this guy is 84 and looks in better shape than people 20 years younger, so no reason to stick him on the list, but it does give an excuse to run a thread on comics and comic heros.I had a sizeable collection of American Spiderman, Batman, Superman et al stuff, but when I hit my teens only 2000AD did it for me.Any thoughts?DWB 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,636 Posted August 26, 2006 My thoughts are it's a damn good thread idea and there's probably some living oldsters out there we should consider and haven't. Can't say I know much about comics mind. The only guy I know personally with any involvement draws for Beano, is well healthy and fairly young. I'll get in touch and see if he's working with anyone older in v.poor health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DWB I also enjoyed 2000AD, especially Rogue Trooper and Judge Dredd, I seem to recall a particular favourite story was to do with fat bastards in Mega City (The League of Fatties). Didn't Dredd also do battle with Judge Death, I have a vague recollection of this. (A bit of googling and Hey Presto) Hollywood, of course, completely f*cked up the film version.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted August 27, 2006 There's a tramp who, er, tramps locally called Stan Lee. Fine beard, fought in Korea, went barking mad, nice chap actually. Possibly not the same gentleman as the one referred to here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angryGreatness 96 Posted September 22, 2012 Stan Lee has cancelled an appearance at Ohio Comic Con next weekend. More troubling, the promoters of the event say they were informed that Stan Lee would be "unable to attend any upcoming appearances in the near future." Lee's rep says this is due to "a very serious circumstance." Stan Lee will be turning 90 this December. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though they say 'very serious' they don't elaborate any, could be any number of things, not necessarily pertaining to his health. But one to keep an eye on certainly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EGN 121 Posted January 25, 2013 I hate to think of the population explosion caused by Stan Lee's death. Future generations of nerds might actually get laid without the natural prophylactic that is a Marvel t-shirt. I don't think our current infrastructure can handle that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DC Comics Reader Posted January 26, 2013 Will they still keep making Superman after he's dead? Marvel and Stan Lee never had any involvement in the production of Superman, so the answer is yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
