Comic book writer Stan Lee is “feeling great” following a hospitalization after he fell ill at his home.

The 95-year-old was rushed to Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles on Wednesday due to suffering from shortness of breath and an irregular heartbeat.

However, on Thursday, Lee told Los Angeles’ KABC-TV that he is back home and raring to go.

“All I really want to do is tell you that I’m feeling great,” he said. “I’m glad I spent that evening in the hospital. It did me a lot of good. It probably did my fans a lot of good. It kept me off their backs for the evening. But I’m feeling good now and I can’t wait to get in there and tangle with all the competition.”
