Stan Lee wrote this in 1968 but the words still ring true today. His stories changed the world.

You have to put yourself in the historical context to really appreciate this. For something this profound, this well written, to appear in a comic book in 1968 was such a ground-breaking event. Before this period of time, comics were considered the pastime of the illiterate. Being seen even holding a comic book placed a stigma on you.

Thanks for the reminder. I grew up with a culture where comics (manga) was commonplace and covered all genres, so I often forget about how comics are for kids in the West.
