Welcome to Marvel

An alien’s introduction to Marvel

An alien met me on earth and wanted to take good look and hooked on the world of comic books.

He said he wanted the good, I said say no more, I got it. Allow me to introduce you to Marvel Comics.

I told him Marvel carries various shades: Spider-Man, X-men, the Avengers and Blade.

The alien thought about this literary world for hire that was plagued with meta humans, mutants and vampires.

At first I thought he would think nothing of it, but after reading one issue of Thor he loved it.

He asked me were there any aliens in Marvel Comics. I said yes, follow Silver Surfer to the power cosmic.

The alien was as happy as any new fan would be and for that we have to thank Stan Lee.

    This is great! I liked it alot. There are loads of aliens in Marvel! Thor, Loki, Thanos ect. Infact, we ourselves would be alien to Aliens. I've said aliens too much, it's lost all meaning.

    Love this!! Everyone should know Stan Lee & Marvel. I think the last lines. Fan a d Stan rhyme and would be better to drop off Lee. Only a suggestion and would be a quick edit.

  • Yayyyyy so glad he was happy. Awesome poem!

  • Loved Stan Lee what a great entry!
