Joan Lee, the wife of Marvel Comics’ legendary publisher Stan Lee, passed away at the age of 93, it has been announced. She died from a stroke last Thursday in Los Angeles.
Shame. Probably means Stan isn’t long behind her, too.
Well the guy is 94, how many years did he really have left? All the same my sympathy goes out to him.
That’s a good long run, both for a life and for a marriage.
They’ll probably just give him a reboot with a new origin story.
Sad but true, there does seem to be a trend of long lasting couples passing within a few months of each other.
Oh man, that’s sad! At least she had a good long life… My sympathies to Stan.
Wow.
They were married before the Korean War took place. During their marriage ALL of the success of Marvel came about and it was a pretty steady upward trajectory.
RIP Mrs. Lee. Rest easy, Mr. Lee.
You are evil! I like you.
Marriage does not end well: Divorce or death.
From photos it appears Stan cherished every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every one of the 69 years. And it also seems that she was a real looker right up to the end.
Burying his wife has to be an indescribable sorrow. My deepest condolences to him.
Given they both had a good long life it’s ok the laugh at this. Clever.
I hope that Stan has a bunch of stock cameo scenes pre-recorded that they can drop into films as needed.
Some people don’t live 69 years, much less be married that long. My parents had 62, though, when my dad died.
I’m sorry for the family, I hope they deal with it well.
