Il 12 novembre è venuto a mancare Stan Lee, il co-creatore dei più famosi supereroi Marvel (Spider-Man, i Fantastici Quattro, gli X-Men, Hulk, Thor, tra i tanti), una figura di riferimento e di ispirazione per autori e lettori.
La scomparsa ha suscitato una ondata di messaggi sui social, da Twitter a Facebook passando per Instagram. Perché Stan Lee, con i suoi personaggi e le sue storie, aveva travalicato ogni confine, imponendosi nella cultura popolare mondiale.
Autori di fumetti, attori e personalità dell’editoria (anche italiana) e dello spettacolo, fino ad aziende, politici e istituzioni hanno reso omaggio con un post a Stan Lee. Al momento, nei mondi del fumetto e dell’informazione, circola da ieri la battuta sul fatto che Donald Trump non abbia ancora twittato qualcosa a riguardo.
Di seguito abbiamo raccolto alcuni tra i post più significativi e toccanti.

He changed the way we look at heroes, and modern comics will always bear his indelible mark. His infectious enthusiasm reminded us why we all fell in love with these stories in the first place. Excelsior, Stan.

Comic book creator @TheRealStanLee has passed away at the age of 95. Lee served in the #USArmy Signal Corps during WWII from 1942-1945. We are deeply grateful for his service to our country and for his tremendous support to servicemembers. #Excelsior! pic.twitter.com/P9tdwoxxx2

Stan Lee created some of the most incredible and enduring characters of our time, and he chose New York City as the place to tell their stories. On behalf of his hometown, I want to express our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

I was first interviewed for Stan Lee's obituary about 20 years ago. I was happy he defied the reaper and carried on. With Stan gone, an era really does come to an end. He was the happy huckster that comics needed. And he really did alliterate like that when you talked to him.

Devastated by my pal Stan's passing. He was a childhood inspiration, an instructor to me when I was just getting started and a genuinely sweet man. Will miss him terribly.

Stan Lee changed my life not once but twice. First when I was a kid and realised the superheroes I loved in comic-books and on TV could actually be a job. Then he did it again when I was working at Marvel and he convinced to start my Millarworld company.

STAN LEE died a little while ago! We should all have been prepping for the eventuality, but it's still no less a shock to the cultural universe—especially to me because he was my mentor and we've stayed in touch more than 50 years! It's the END OF AN ERA! RIP, my old friend!!!

My very first professional comics gig was a variant cover that Stan signed every copy of. Hell of a way to enter the industry. An industry that #StanLee shaped into what it is today. An industry I love. Thank you, Stan. You’ll never be forgotten. #RIPStanLee pic.twitter.com/n4fsC3YGMy

No writer or their work has ever had as profound an effect on my life as that of Stan "The Man" Lee. In the history of the written word, no one even comes close. His stories will live on for every generation. Never "The End". Always "To Be Continued…"

Stan Lee created a universe where, if a character was beloved enough, they could never really die.
Now THAT’S thinking ahead.
Thanks for so much of my life. You’ll never not be in it.
