2. I swear, Luck is the fastest pen in the west...

3. He probably had this one ready - it was inevitable

Stan Lee has been at death's door for months. I think the newspaper obituaries and such were probably ready to go, Luckevich and other cartoonists were also ready no doubt.

Not that any of us are happy that he's gone. But that's the newspaper business, they are rarely caught flat-footed.

5. Oh wow, that's a great one...

6. Very nice

Luckovich is a genius -- hilarious, too, but obviously he has reverence for Stan Lee as an icon of the field.

7. How beautiful

Stan the great for real

8. Rest in Superpower Stan. What an incredibly influential man.

Seth Rogan on Twitter thanked him for making the strange kids special. I think that is the truest thing I’ve seen in all the tributes today.

9. Agreed.

10. Sometimes these "cartoon" tributes are the most powerful.

Remember when Mel Blanc died?

15. That always brings a tear to my eyes.

11. Poetic. I heard on the radio this eveniing that Stan Lee based several of his superheros on

Civil Rights leaders. Peace.

18. Yea the XMen were created as an allegory for the civil rights movement.

His introduction of mutants into the Marvel universe was a message about racism.

12. Spot on
