Stan Lee says the rumors of his imminent death are highly exaggerated

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

Speculation had been swirling since he suddenly cancelled a bunch of events last week, but the man checks in and manages to make even a pacemaker installation sound awesome:

Attention, Troops!

This is a dispatch sent from your beloved Generalissimo, directly from the center of Hollywood’s combat zone!

Now hear this! Your leader hath not deserted thee! In an effort to be more like my fellow Avenger, Tony Stark, I have had an electronic pace-maker placed near my heart to insure that I’ll be able to lead thee for another 90 years.

But fear thee not, my valiant warriors. I am in constant touch with our commanders in the field and victory shall soon be ours. Now I must end this dispatch and join my troops, for an army without a leader is like a day without a cameo!

Excelsior!

3. I wrote Stan about that when I heard

I told him that when I heard he had gotten a pacemaker, I just assumed it was some 20-something model to stand at his shoulder and tell him to slow his pace down.

We'll see what his response is.

He looked pretty good the last time we had lunch. That wasn't so long ago, so I'll bet he still does:

*on edit--Stan already wrote back:

"Actually, (DFW), it was a 28-year old model but if I told the truth countless other 28-year olds would be knocking at my door."

Typical for him. How can you not love this guy?

6. He is every bit as much in person as the public image he projects

Someone just forgot to tell his battery that it loses its charge every now and then (heart of gold, too).

5. That guy is just awesome!

Can't help but love the guy.
