Spidey is your friendly neighbourhood hero, one you can relate with, sympathize with, empathize with and just love. Stan, thanks for giving us Spider Man, you'd be suprised how we root for Spidey in Nigeria, Africa. Here's to you Stan...long life, good health and constant creativity. Ade Majek-Odunowo

I want to thank Stan Lee and people like Sal Buscema, Steve Ditko and all the old school Spider Man artists for inspiring me to make my own comic books as a kid. Spider Man was, and is still a model super hero, one that I can associate with. Too bad all my comic books didn't see the light of day...but I'm still hopeful. Thanks, Stan.

I think Stan Lee is the best comic writer in the world and also the best one ever.

I hope Stan Lee gives credit to Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko for help creating the Marvel Universe Characters and stories.

When the day comes that the good Lord decides to take Stan. This country and the world in general will loose a GREAT man. With a heart of gold and a keen sense of humor....Mr. Lee has inspired the imaginations of young and old alike for decades. Thank you Mr. Lee(Lieberman)
