Pete and Ramon take a solemn moment as they celebrate the life of Stan Lee. Join the boys as they discuss his contributions to the comics world, and also his impact on their own personal lives since the day they picked up their very first comics. Stanley Martin Lieber, known to the world as Stan "The Man" Lee. Our Generalissimo. The Godfather of Comics.
