sad to hear of his passing; read all the comments, that just me off when people just over price anything just because they pass away; i myself had a bad signing with Stan so much i told my family i didn't want to take a pic with him, now i am a shamed and wish i did; But in the long run my kids had an oppourtunities to see him and enjoy someone that brought so much joy to my life when i was their age,and unlike most people at the comic cons my kids got to ask him 3 to 4 question that he answer i got vids of it and he personalize the books for them. so in the end i was the real jerk acting like a kid and miss the moments that i had with him because i never thought he would be gone so soon and so i called my dad an went out father, son and grandsons day with my old man.
