STAN LEE died a little while ago! We should all have been prepping for the eventuality, but it's still no less a shock to the cultural universe—especially to me because he was my mentor and we've stayed in touch more than 50 years! It's the END OF AN ERA! RIP, my old friend!!!

STERANKO SUNDAY TNT: Meeting of the Minds! @ 10pm et - Author Illustrator Musician Designer Magician Filmmaker Innovator STERANKO: GRAPHIC PRINCE OF DARKNESS
- Don't know about you, but I'm having a lot of trouble with the idea of being in a world without NEAL ADAMS! He was so ubiquitous in the pop-culture sphere for so long that it's impossible to think of the Universe of Comicbooks without his presence!!
- This morn, we lost my friend and collaborator, JOE SINNOTT—of whom I've often said "made my amateurish scribblings look professional!" He was one of comics' prime inkers for decades and a superb artist, as his recent con illustrations proved! An ICON in the ART WORLD! RIP, amigo!
- TRUMP IS AMERICA'S PRESIDENT!!! And the BEST birthday present I could get! Thank you, Henchman Warriors, for your service, your loyalty, and your relentless Patriotism! And my terminal GRATITUDE for the tidal wave of personal birthday wishes! My pals—THE BROTHERHOOD!!!
- It's been a dark week, knowing I'll never have the opportunity again to create, laugh, fight, and remake the four-color world BETTER with my ol' pal Stan! The End of an Era, a difficult—if inevitable—position to accept, let alone embrace!
- A DEEP BOW of appreciation to ALL Henchmen who assembled tonight to mount a VIKING'S FUNERAL for one of the most productive and dedicated figures IN POP-CULTURE HISTORY! Good night, my old friend! Until we join you in Valhalla, you will live eternally in our hearts! Excelsior!!!
- Congratulations, Henchmen! Today is PROOF that with relentless determination & dedication YOU CAN TRIUMPH OVER IMPOSSIBLE ODDS! Real Americans did it against the deceitful press, corrupt public media, and criminal politicians! I'm so deeply gratified, SO PROUD TO BE ONE OF YOU!!
- So, you ID Trump as another Hitler—and want us to believe you! OK, simply produce the locations, dates, and the names of the 6 MILLION JEWS TRUMP KILLED! And, if you cannot produce that evidence, YOU ARE A TRAITOROUS, MARXIST, RACIST, ANTISEMITIC LIAR—just like Hitler!!!
- Actually, he made it a point to MANDATE THEIR CREDITS on the splash page of EVERY MARVEL COMIC PUBLISHED! Stan did not steal their thunder, but extolled virtues some barely had! My point: I WAS THERE and witnessed what happened first hand!
- I have a helluva time reading today's comics because the emphasis is NOT on storytelling, but figure drawing! Panel DESIGN is virtually non-existent! Tier DESIGN is imperceptible! Page DESIGN is a joke! And double-page DESIGN—well, you get the idea! Without DESIGN, stories fail!!
- Komrade Kalama’s defenders claim she was ONLY the VP and had little power! However, she confirms she’d “have done NOTHING DIFFERENT from what Biden did," and was often the LAST PERSON IN THE ROOM? But, did being VP PREVENT HER FROM BEING IN THE ROOM AT ALL? She LIED AGAIN!!!
- She rejected her job, NEVER visited the border—instead doubled down by INVITING MORE ALIEN CRIMINALS TO CROSS INTO THE USA! The actual number is somewhere between 15-30 MILLION INVADERS, taking American's jobs, getting housing & healthcare—ALL TO CREATE DEMOCRAT VOTES! CRIMINAL!!
- The CHINESE PANDEMIC has stolen year from our lives —I've felt it as much as anyone! Those who know me and have hung out with me at shows know the importance I lay on personal appearances and connecting at gigs with fans from every corner of the USA! Will be ready WHEN YOU ARE!
