    I'll be honest, I never really knew about him until a friend starting jabbing his finger at one of the cameos in a Marvel movie and talking about why that's important.

    And part of what came up when I googled him was that apparently he tended to hog a bunch of credit from other compatriots unfairly? And some of the titles or accomplishments to him definitely sounded way too hyped up and fellating.


    So, uh, rest in piece I guess, but I never really saw why he's so hyped up. And I never did like "oh some famous person died" threads.

    If nothing else you can marvel at the fact this 95 year old dude was walking and talking like some guy in his 60s. He was pretty lively for having one foot in the grave.

    He was one of the rockstars of early nerd culture, back in the days when reading comics was still very much a counterculture thing at best and got you beat up at worst. He and Jack Kirby were some of the first people to start (Emphasis on start, here. Lots of other people helped) the process that led to comics becoming mainstream, and had a personality that lent itself well to being a popular figure.

    Plus, he was going through hell before he died. If you have a strong tolerance for jackassery, look up the novelty blood pens.

    Holy fuck was he struggling to live before he died. It's genuinely disturbing how much he was fucked over in his last days.

    I genuinely hope Death-chan gave him long and loving hug at the end of his journey.
