Stan Lee Hospitalized On Sunday; At Movie Premiere Monday

The idea of Stan Lee being sick enough to call for help in getting to the hospital and then the very next day making an appearance at a Marvel movie premiere should make for an unimpeachable set of feature news articles today. Here's one such piece.

Lee is in his early nineties now, on the cusp of his mid-nineties. It struck a lot of people I know when he appeared at this year's HeroesCon that such engagements are likely to be very limited now, a thought to which multiple generations of comics fans for whom Lee has been a ubiquitous presence at shows and events have been slowly awakening for the past half-decade. Travel at a certain age becomes difficult even for someone as robustly healthy as a longtime take-the-stairs fitness icon like Lee.
