E - Excelsior! - A to Z Challenge [2014]


“Excelsior!”, the catchphrase of Stan Lee, who used it at the end of every "Bullpen Bulletins" column in Marvel Comics! Who is STAN LEE?

Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber, December 28, 1922) is an American comic book writer, editor, publisher, media producer, television host, actor, voice actor and former president and chairman of Marvel Comics.

In collaboration with several artists, most notably Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he co-created Spider-Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor, X-Men, and many other fictional characters, introducing complex, naturalistic characters and a thoroughly shared universe into superhero comic books. In addition, he headed the first major successful challenge to the industry's censorship organization, the Comics Code Authority, and forced it to reform its policies. Lee subsequently led the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.


Excelsior is a Latin adjective meaning "higher" or "loftier", used in English as an interjection with a poetic meaning of "ever upward".

  7. Stan Lee will always be the man, even to those of us who have no clue about the comic universe, because lets face it, he is the most recognizable face for the comic universe.

  12. Even though there is some backlash in certain dark, cobwebby corners of the fanboy world, Stan the Man, in my not-so-humble opinion, along with Jack the King Kirby, pretty much gave us the modern comic book culture. Excelsior indeed!

    Happy AtoZing. See ya 'round the web. All Things Kevyn.
