Stan Lee (född 28 december 1922, död 12 november 2018), var en amerikansk serieredaktör och manusförfattare, som tillsammans med tecknare som Jack Kirby , Steve Ditko , Don Heck , Bill Everett etc. lade grunderna till Marvels universum "Marvels universum (plats)") .[[1]]( Stan Lee föddes som Stanley Martin Lieber den 28 december 1922 i New York. Som 17-åring fick han anställning på Martin Goodmans nystartade serieförlag Timely Comics , för vilket han snart blev redaktör. Timely utvecklades sedermera till Atlas Comics (1951) och Marvel Comics (1961), och Lee utgjorde det kreativa navet för serieproduktionen, både som redaktör, manusförfattare (genom The Marvel Method ), och frontperson. När han själv började skriva seriemanus, använde han sig av pseudonymen Stan Lee, ett namn som han långt senare gjorde till sitt legala namn; i sin självbiografi har han förklarat att han från början avsåg att vänta med att använda sitt riktiga namn till när han kunde ge ut mer seriösa verk. Bror till Larry Lieber . Stanley hade tänkt skriva den "stora amerikanska romanen" och ville inte att hans namn skulle vara förknippat med dessa "löjliga serietidningar", utan signerade dessa med Stan Lee. I serietidningen 2000 AD nr 484 möter Judge Dredd en kampsportskunnig skurk vid namn Stan Lee, i "The Fists of Stan Lee". Sedan 2000-talet har Stan Lee figurerat flitigt i film och TV, och har bland annat en cameo i lejonparten av filmerna baserade på Marvels figurer.

Encyclopedic overview

Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber /ˈliːbər/; December 28, 1922 – November 12, 2018) was an American comic book writer, editor, publisher, and producer. He rose through the ranks of a family-run business called Timely Comics, which later became Marvel Comics. He was Marvel's primary creative leader for two decades, expanding it from a small publishing house division to a multimedia corporation that dominated the comics and film industries.

In collaboration with others at Marvel—particularly co-plotters and artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko—he co-created iconic characters, including Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Ant-Man, the Wasp, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, the Scarlet Witch, and Black Widow. These and other characters' introductions in the 1960s pioneered a more naturalistic approach in superhero comics. In the 1970s, Lee challenged the restrictions of the Comics Code Authority, indirectly leading to changes in its policies. In the 1980s, he pursued the development of Marvel properties in other media, with mixed results.
