I just wanted to take this time to pay respect to one of my main inspirations in regards to superhero stories. I’m gonna be honest, I never really read any comic books as a kid, (heck, the first comic I ever bought was “Red Hood and the Outlaws.”) I mainly watch the cartoons growing up. It wasn’t until I started watching Ed, Edd, n Eddy when I started getting into making comics since Ed was into comics and I didn’t have anywhere to buy them so I made my own. The earliest comics I made were just crappy little 4 paneled Spider-Man ones. But enough of that, let’s get to the important part. I didn’t know who Stan Lee was until I saw a show he did called, “Stan Lee’s Superhumans.” It was about a really flexible guy going to places and meeting people with abnormal abilities. In the intro, he says that he created Spider-Man, Hulk, and Fantastic Four, and I was all, “Wait, he made those guys?” The first cameo in a Marvel movie I ever saw was in Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer. Sad to say, I actually LIKED that movie. Then I started seeing him pop up in SO many other movies and tv shows and etc. There’s this documentary I watch from time to time about the history of Superheroes. On it, Stan would go over the details of how he came up with the characters which I found very fascinating. I think the one story that stuck with me was the story of the Fantastic Four. He said that he was thinking of quitting the industry until his late wife suggested to him that for once, make a superhero series that he would want to make. And of course, the rest is history. Just that mindset I really took to heart, and it reflects in my projects. Basically, every single series I make are stories I want to read. And lastly, I want to go over how he influenced my comic making. There’s this method that is sometimes used today called “the Marvel method.” How it works is that one person writes a brief synopsis of a scene, then another guy draws out how he envisions it, then another guy adds the words. It helped me so much whenever I have writer’s block. And now a final message to anyone reading this who want to get into comics but aren’t really that great at art. Remember, Stan Lee wasn’t either. You don’t have to be a good artist to make cool characters and stories. Sometimes, all you need is a good idea.

Thank you, Stanley Martin Lieber. You truly were The Man.
