I think comics will always be around. I think there's something nice about a comic book. People love to hold 'em, turn the pages, fold 'em up, roll 'em up, stick 'em in their back pocket, show 'em to a friend, and say, Hey, look at this.

More quotes by Stan Lee
The only advice anybody can give is, if you wanna be a writer, keep writing. And read all you can, read everything.
Stan Lee
I had been writing comic books for years and I was doing them to please a publisher, who felt that comics are only read by very young children or stupid adults. And therefore, we have to keep the stories very simplistic... And those were all things I hated.
Stan Lee
I hated teenagers in comics because they were always sidekicks. And I always felt if I were a superhero, there's no way I'd pal around with some teenager, you know.
Stan Lee
There's never a time when I'm not working. I don't take vacations.
Stan Lee
When I was a kid, I loved reading Sherlock Holmes. Now, you don't think of him as a superhero, but he was so damn much smarter than anybody else.
Stan Lee
Virtually every kid is exposed to giants and ogres and talking wolves, and so forth. And magic. And I think you never outgrow your love for those imaginative, fanciful, farfetched, fantastic characters and situations.
Stan Lee
Everything has changed and we're all living in one city now. What happens somewhere affects things everywhere, so I have to be careful and whatever stories I work on, I want them to have redeeming moral values.
Stan Lee
MARVEL IS A CORNUCOPIA OF FANTASY, A WILD IDEA , A SWASHBUCKLING ATTITUDE , AN ESCAPE FROM THE HUMDRUM AND PROSAIC. IT'S A SERENDIPITOUS FEAST FOR THE MIND, THE EYE , AND THE IMAGINATION, A LITERATE CELEBRATION OF UNBRIDLED CREATIVITY, COUPLED WITH A TOUCH OF REBELLION AND AN INSOLENT DESIRE TO SPIT IN THE EYE OF THE DRAGON.
Stan Lee
I think people have always loved things that are bigger than life, things that are imaginative.
Stan Lee
Comics are stories they're like novels or anything else. So the first thing you have to do is become a good storyteller.
Stan Lee
Every kid loves fairy tales, stories of witches and giants and magicians. Then, when you get a little older you can't read fairy tales anymore.
Stan Lee
Singing a song, playing sports - anything that entertains, that takes people away from their own problems, is good.
Stan Lee
I enjoyed reading Batman, and Superman, and all the super ones, but I never wished I created them. I've got to let there be some work for other people!
Stan Lee
I couldn't say no when I received that offer [to re-invent the DC characters]... How can any writer say no to the opportunity of redoing every one of DC's top superheroes?
Stan Lee
To tell you the truth, I never thought of myself as much of a success.
Stan Lee
I was in the beginning when [comic book superheroes] started, but not anymore. Now I expect it. I've gotten very used to it.
Stan Lee
The main thing I want to do, is to make our website the most entertaining website there is on the Internet. I want it to be the premiere site for entertainment, for communication, and for fun.
Stan Lee
I'm not a guy who gets inspirations.
Stan Lee
I think there's the element of the excitement of what I'm going to see, and with the special effects where you see men flying and walking through walls and shooting flame or whatever they do, especially the younger audiences, which make up a bulk of the moviegoers, they love that sort of thing.
Stan Lee
I don't really see a need to retire as long as I am having fun.
Stan Lee
