The comic book writer’s daughter confirmed her father’s death. The 95-year-old suffered from pneumonia in February this year. He also struggled with vision issues and had revealed in 2016 that he could no longer read the comics he created.

His family loved him and his fans loved him. He was irreplaceable,” she added. The last tweet posted from Lee’s Twitter account featured a photo of him taken when he was serving in the US Army, which he entered in 1942. Here it is...
Stan Lee, you (and your much-awaited cameos) will be terribly missed...
