One of the final recordings made of Stan "The Man" Lee has been revealed today and, well, there's a very good chance it will leave you a blubbering wreck! As you can see below, his social media team was getting ready to shoot some footage when the frail looking comic book creator spontaneously started talking about how much his fans mean to him.
"I love my fans," Lee begins. "I cannot tell you how much I love my fans. Sometimes at night, I am sitting here thinking, 'What's it all about?' And then I get a letter from a fan or I read something or I see something or I remember something. And I realize, it's so lucky to have fans, fans who really care about you. That's the reason I care so much about the fans because they make me feel so great."
He continues, "And there's something, if you think about it, wonderful about someone caring about you — as I care about them — whom you've never met. They may live in another part of the world. But they care and you have something in common. And occasionally you contact each other. But this business of fans I think is terrific, and I love them all."
Since the news broke about Lee's death, countless celebrities and fans have paid their respects to the man responsible for dreaming up the likes of Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and Iron Man.
This video is a lovely tribute from Lee to his fans and it's great to see just how highly he regarded the people who cared for him. As always, feel free to let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
