Wise Words From a Mighty Avenger
I tweeted this already, and perhaps it’s tacky to quote yourself. That said, what does tacky really mean when it comes to social media? I wanted to make sure that as many people, parents in particular, read these wise words from a mighty Avenger:
“The metal of the human spirit is forged upon the anvil of sorrow.” Thor, Avengers Issue 87. Writer: Roy Thomas, Editor: @therealstanlee

Yes, that’s from a comic book. Good stuff, right?
The Avenger in question is Thor, in case you didn’t catch that in the tweet. The great words, written by Roy Thomas, with art by Frank Giacoia, appeared in issue number 87 of The Avengers, published in 1971. You can read it online with a Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited subscription, which I highly recommend because it’s awesome.
What else is there to say except, in the words of the great Stan Lee… Excelsior!
