About

Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber, 1922-2018) was an American comic book writer, editor, publisher and producer.

He rose through Timely Comics, the company that became Marvel Comics, and from the early 1960s co-created many of its best-known characters with artists such as Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, among them Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk and Thor. As Marvel's editor and public face he shaped its house style of flawed, human superheroes.

He later wrote prose and graphic-novel projects and appeared in cameos across Marvel's film adaptations. He received the National Medal of Arts in 2008.
