I love storytelling in general, and comics are an art-form unto itself with a unique way of enriching the reading experience. If you frequent le blog you would have surely seen the hyperlink tags “Comics” and “I ♥ COMICS.” My love for them comes with its own origin story, and although I feel my content of choice has graduated from the typical costumed Marvel heroes to more self-contained, creator owned creations, there is no denying the history of comics and why they flourished and endured, and for that, my hats off to Stan “the man” Lee.
