Fans and colleagues of Stan Lee have repeatedly expressed concern about his well-being following the death last year of his wife Joan, a police investigation into accusations of elder abuse, and questions about whether the comics legend's business manager has his best interests in mind. But, as Rob Liefeld learned when paying a visit to Lee, it takes more than that to keep the 95-year-old creator down for long.

Liefeld share a photo on Instagram of his visit, assuring fans that Lee is doing, in his own words, "really really well."

"When I saw Stan, my heart soared, his color was great, and his eyes were wider than I'd seen them in quite some time," Liefeld recounted. "He was vibrant and spry, and I told him that everyone would be thrilled to see how good he was doing. That’s when he said 'I’m doing well, tell them I’m doing well.' He said, 'Can you believe I’m 95 years old, Rob? I’m still here at 95, who would have thought?'”

Liefeld also shared with Lee that, with shareholder approval of Disney's acquisition of key assets of 21st Century Fox, that the film rights to the X-Men and Fantastic Four would return to Marvel. "He settled back in his chair and he smiled, 'Thank you for telling me that,'" Liefeld wrote.
