    Who Was Stan Lee?

    Stan Lee was born Stanley Martin Lieber in New York, USA, and he is best
    known for co-creating numerous fictional characters, such as Spider-Man, Hulk
    and Black Panther.
    Early Life
    Lee’s parents were Romanian-born Jewish immigrants and he lived with them and
    his brother, Larry, in a small apartment.

    As a child, Lee enjoyed reading and watching


    movies, especially ones involving heroes.
    Early Career
    Aged 17, Lee’s first job after leaving school was at ‘Timely
    Publications,’ (a publishing company), just as a new
    craze for comic books was emerging.

    He began writing stories about the adventures of Captain


    America and two years later, when the creators of that character
    left the publishing house, he became the editor.

    Stan Lee remained as editor for over 30 years and during that
    time, Timely Publications changed its name to
    Atlas and then to Marvel.
    Creative Success
    In 1961, Stan Lee worked closely with artist
    Jack Kirby to create the Fantastic Four.

    The characters were hugely popular with


    the public. Up until their creation, comic
    book characters had been perfect but Lee’s
    creations had flaws; they were more like
    real people, dealing with issues such as
    boredom and anger, except they also had
    superpowers.
    Superheroes
    Realising they were onto something, Lee and Kirby collaborated in the creation of
    many more characters, including:

    Hulk Iron Man

    The X-Men

    Thor

    Ant-Man
    Fans
    Peter Sanderson, a comics historian, wrote:

    “There was a new audience for comics now, and it wasn’t just the little kids that
    traditionally had read the books…Marvel was pioneering new methods of
    comics storytelling and characterisation.”
    Later Life
    In 1972, Lee left his job as editor at Marvel when he became
    the publisher of the company.

    In 1980, he set up an animation


    studio. Many Marvel characters
    had been turned into television
    series (Spider-Man first appeared
    in 1967) and Lee was keen to
    build on their many TV and
    movie opportunities.

    His characters have featured in several popular films in recent years.


    Awards
    Lee was given many awards during his lifetime, including the following:
    •The Inkpot Award in 1974
    •A Saturn Award for Life Career in 2002
    •A Scream Award at the Comic-Con Icon Awards in 2009
    •Lifetime Achievement Award from the Visual Effects Society in 2012

    Also, he was awarded a star on the


    Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2011
    and in 2017, he and Kirby were
    named ‘Disney Legends.’
    Did You Know…?
    Stan Lee had a cameo role in many Marvel films.

    He served in the US army, where his role was listed as


    ‘playwright.’

    In 1969, Lee co-created Falcon, the first Afro-American comic


    book superhero.

    Los Angeles County declared 2nd October 2009 ‘Stan


    Lee Day’.
