DC has a tribute to Stan Lee in their books this week. Classy move. DC Comics' Tribute to Stan Lee in Today's Comics
It's a great list, but a lot of these were actually written by either Kirby (like the #1 choice, ffs!) or Ditko and only scripted by Lee after the fact. But whatever.
Kirby did win the top 50 artists. On writers, he placed 22nd. Lee placed 3rd. Behind Grant Morrison and Alan Moore.
Lee placing behind Morrison is silly. Lee placing behind Moore is an outright crime. Moore is a derivative hack who relies almost completely on craft and very little on talent.
I found a petition for a statue of him to be placed in New York: Sign the Petition Place a statue of Stan Lee, dedicated to his memory, in his hometown of New York City. David Gourlay started this petition to New York City Council Problem Stan Lee, co-creator of Marvel Comics, and all-round icon, died at the age of 95 on 12th November 2018. A statue in his honour would seem only fair to keep his memory alive. Solution It would be an honour and of great respect to have a statue of the late icon placed in his hometown of New York City, USA. Personal story I’m starting this petition, because I have enjoyed and respected his work, like many others over the years, and think a statue in his honour would be right for keeping his memory alive.
