Stan Lee: The MARVELous Legendary Figure of the Comic Book World

It’s not an exaggeration to say Stan Lee (December 28, 1922 — November 12, 2018) is considered a legendary writer, editor, and publisher in the comic book world. For two decades, Lee helped steer the creativity and enormous growth of Marvel Comics. Together with various collaborators, he created world-famous characters such as Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Black Widow, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and Ant-Man. The rest is blockbuster movie history.
 
Quote: “I used to be embarrassed because I was just a comic-book writer while other people were building bridges or going on to medical careers. And then I began to realize: Entertainment is one of the most important things in people’s lives. Without it, they might go off the deep end. I feel that if you’re able to entertain people, you’re doing a good thing.”
