We lost Stan Lee at the age of 95 yesterday, and today Apple is honoring the legendary comic book creator with a special story in the App Store. “Storytelling wouldn’t be what it is today without Stan Lee,” reads the opening to the app collection inspired by the late Spider-Man co-creator.
Apple’s Remembering Stan Lee story continues:
Inside the story is a collection of ten apps in three groups: Read and Draw, Play the games, and Act and learn. The eight comic book reader apps and games include Marvel Unlimited, Marvel: Color Your Own, comiXology, Olli by Tinrocket, Contest of Champions, Strike Force, Battle Lines, and Avengers Academy.

Apple often pays homage to iconic figures on their home page, but the App Store story is a great use of the redesigned App Store. Remembering Stan Lee only appears to be featured in the US App Store today, but it should surface by searching ‘Stan Lee’ even after today.
