He was born Stanley Lieber in 1922. He graduated from high school two years early, and soon after started working at Timely Comics which later became Marvel in the 60s, and back then was just doing basic work around the office, like getting lunch or even a little bit of proofreading.
Lee along with mostly Jack Kirby, but also Steve Ditko and Bill Everett went on to created Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-men, Avengers, The Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, and of course Willie Lumpkin. Stan Lee also played a large role in making the Comic Code Authority, a comic book censorship organization run by the government, change their policies so that comics good become a true art form.
60 years later, even at one point getting out of the industry back in the 50s, is still writing comics today. Just this year he announced, he helped create three new comic book heroes, Soldier Zero, Starborn, and The Traveler, joined with BOOM! and POW Studios. He is narrating video games like Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions, and a number of cameos in movies and TV Shows. Stan "The Man" Lee continues to be an iconic star of the comic book industry, and I hope he has many more years continuing to be apart of the industry.
