Marvel Releases Touching New Tribute To Stan Lee

The world has not stopped mourning the late, great Stan Lee, the legendary Publisher of Marvel Comics. Since his unfortunate passing back in November, there has been no shortage of tributes, including a new one from the company he once pioneered, Marvel Comics.

Via Comic Book, if you pick up a new issue of a Marvel comic today, then you will find a message penned by Stan Lee himself during Stan’s Soapbox back in July of 1967:

“This is as good a place as any to thank you once more for being the most wonderful fans any publishing company ever had! If Marvel is on top of the heap, it’s your support that’s put us there! If Marvel gives you the type of mags you want, it’s our letters that have told us how! And, if Marvel occasionally comes up with a clinker, go hang your head, hero! Whatever we are, you’ve made us! We’ve had a lot of laughs together, and a lot of excitement- and the best is till ahead! So face front, frantic one. Marvel’s on the march- and we’re not taking a step without you! On behalf of the entire batty Bullpen, to True Believers, everywhere- we’ll never let you down, ‘cause you’re the ever-loving’ greatest!”

It was the first year of the famous Stan Lee column, which was an important part of what became known as the Bullpen Bulletins, the information page that appeared in most regular monthly issues from Marvel Comics. Stan Lee used his Soapbox to reach out to reads to talk to them about a wide-reaching array of topics in a poignant and meaningful and hopefully engaging way.

Will you be picking up a Marvel comic book with this touching tribute? How do you continue to honor Stan Lee and his legacy now that he is no longer with us? We would love to hear from you, so hit us up in the comments with your stories!
