Excelsior.

November 12, 2018

Earlier today, it was announced that Marvel Comics icon Stan Lee, co-creator of such characters as Spider-Man, the X-Men, and Black Panther, died at the age of 95.

Stan Lee's influence over rock music via the power of his characters cannot be overstated. For decades, rock musicians have been inspired by the grandiosity, costumes, and epic adventures of the characters Lee created.

In his memory, several rock stars have taken to social media to sing his praises. You can see some of these responses below:

Kerrang! sends our collective heart out to Stan's family, friends, and fans, during this difficult time.
