Lee worked alongside Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and many others at Marvel. Together, they helped explode it into the top publisher of comic books and the eventual multimedia giant of today.
Stan Lee commented on his career to the Chicago Tribune in April 2014. “I used to think what I did was not very important,” he said. “People are building bridges and engaging in medical research, and here I was doing stories about fictional people who do extraordinary, crazy things and wear costumes. But I suppose I have come to realize that entertainment is not easily dismissed.”
Rest In Peace, Stan.
