Marvel Comics didn't just entertain me as a kid. They were the first thing in my life that made me feel ok being a depressed oddball with a big head and mis-shaped joints. Peter Parker got made fun of in school more than I did. The X-Men were BORN THAT WAY. RIP + thanks Stan Lee

Marvel was my childhood. Comics, cartoons, and cards. It helped shape my creativity and I fell in love with fantasy. Rogue and Storm got me through my addiction. I leaned on their stories through some of my darkest times. Thank you, Stan Lee. Forever grateful for you.
