Stan Lee was an American comic book writer, editor, publisher, and producer
Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber December 28, 1922 – November 12, 2018) rose through the ranks of a family-run business to become Marvel Comics’ primary creative leader for two decades, leading its expansion from a small division of a publishing house to a multimedia corporation that dominated the comics industry.
“My publisher said, in his ultimate wisdom, ‘Stan, that is the worst idea I have ever heard,’” Lee told BBC Radio 4 in an interview promoting his graphic-novel memoir, Amazing, Fantastic, Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir. “‘First of all, people hate spiders, so you can’t call a book Spider-Man. Secondly, he can’t be a teenager—teenagers can only be sidekicks. And third, he can’t have personal problems if he’s supposed to be a superhero—don’t you know who a superhero is?’”
