Marvel shared previously unreleased footage of Stan Lee gushing over his late wife.
We decided to stick with it until we get it right.
Were still working on it, Stan said at the time of their 70-year-old marriage.
The audience chuckled as he said, I was tired of living with sergeants and corporals and privates.
I wanted to live with a girl.
And I said, I love you,' he said.
Stan then asked Joan to lunch and later got married.
It was a good lunch, he joked.
He unloaded further ina letter to Marvel fans posted to the companys website.
Like all of you, Im so incredibly saddened by news of Joan Lees passing, he wrote.
He followed her advice and planned to go out with a big bang.
But that big bang turned intoThe Fantastic Four, and the rest is history.
She was its big bang.
