This arrived at Marvel not long after I began working on Thor in 1983. I was amazed Stan even knew who I was. It was a generous and surprisingly personal gesture on his part. Hangs on the wall of my studio, a reminder to try to do good work. Thank you, Stan. Excelsior, indeed.

Sad day, for all of us who spent any of are youth growing up the Marvel Way.

That's so cool. I know Lee also wrote a letter to the Thor letter columns talking about what a great job you were doing on Thor at the time. I believe Lee's letter appeared in Thor #347.

I'm not surprised Stan kept reading Thor on occasion even into the 80s. I think that book was one he always enjoyed reading more than writing - and that's why he let Jack and Larry do a lot of the early stories even when he was still directly involved.

I had the privilege of meeting Stan several years ago in a cafe in Beverly Hills and he was nothing but kind and gracious...

I said it then and I’ll say it here - I thanked him for being responsible for bringing me more hours of enjoyment than any other person on this planet - thank you Stan - YOU were the superhero all along.
