Help me in wishing Spider-Man’s co- creator a big happy 90th birthday. I had the pleasure of talking to him this past summer at the Chicago Comicon.

Happy B-Day to one of comics greatest, actually literature’s greatest giants…all the best to you….
Happy Birthday Stan,
I know I have never met you ever, but as many fans who enjoy all of your works Past and Present included ( the Spidey Newspaper strip), and all of your movie cameos in the Marvel movies, you are a fine hero in any comic fan heart of knowing someone who loves what you do. That being of course writing, I hope you enjoy whatever your putting to paper now in fact…. Happy B-Day “Mr. Excelsior” as your better known as!
Thanks a lot and happy birthday Stan!
Happy birthday Stan! 🙂 Hope you have an excellent birthday!
Happy to see BD describe him as co-creator. I wish Stan would (unqualified anyway). Anyway happy Birthday to the great Stan Lee. Isn’t it strange to have such affection for someone you’ve never met or actually know?
Thank you Stan for all the years of happiness you’ve given me. And of course thank you to the legendary Steve Ditko and John Romita without them Spider-Man would not be the character he is.
Happy Birthday to Stan “The Man” Lee. A genuine class act…they just don’t make ’em like him anymore.
Also, that’s a great pic, Brad. Two of my favorite Spider-people in one place…Awesome!
Sadly, I missed meeting Stan myself twice this year…Once in Charlotte, and again in Chicago.
I hope to rectify that in 2013.
Many happy returns, Stan. You truly are “The Man”. ‘Nuff Said!

Stan there simply are not the words. You changed the world. A very happy birthday to you
Happy Birthday, Stan. Thank you for everything you have given us.
