I remember seeing them in an old interview together while watching on documentaries on Stan Lee and they really seemed cute together and very much still in love.

RIP.

RIP Joan Lee. Thanks for convincing Stan to make one more comic when he wanted to quit (and that comic was The Fantastic Four.)
 
Oh wow, really? Why was Stan looking to quit?

The CCA was fucking with his work really bad, he's talked about it how a lot of his work ended up being random monster serials with onomatopoeia names (which funny enough, spawned Fin Fang Foom). He wanted to write something actual adults could enjoy and not for five year olds.

They had a lot of great years together which, I'm sure in this moment, still don't feel like enough.

I hate to be morbid, but I'd be surprised if Stan Lee makes it to 2018. As others have said it's really common for older husbands to pass, shortly after their wives.

I hope he's alright...

My grandfather passed away 6 months after my grandmother did since he just couldn't bear to be without her.
 
My absolute favorite Stan and Joanie story was on one of Kevin Smith's stand up specials. During Mallrats filming Stan had a scene with Jason Lee where Stan convinces the Brody character to go after his girl. In the Scene Stan recounts having a running contest with Mick Jagger over how many women they could seduce, but ultimately it was the one that got away that he pined for. Stan, concerned that this would upset Joan, convinced Smith to add a scene with some dialogue about how he just told Brody what he needed to hear.

RIP. I feel really bad for Stan and his family, especially when everybody is celebrating a new Spidey movie.

I'm sure their long marriage wasn't nearly enough time to them. A couple like that would want to go on forever.

Hopefully she gets a "In Memory of" in Thor Ragnarok.

Same here.

Such a shame... RIP.

maybe tomorrow it rains
I can't imagine how it feels to spend 70 years of your life with someone and then they're just gone. Poor Stan. I hope he's okay.
 
RIP

93 is definitely a great and fulfilling life. Also being married to the same man for 70 years is a testament to how much both Stan and Joan loved each other.

You know I've always gave Stan shit for Kirby and Ditko but with Spiderman coming out today and this big loss im just going to let it go and hope things are going to be ok for the guy.
