2018 has been a year of mourning for comic book fans. An no, we’re not talking about the Thanos finger snap erasing half of the Marvel universe -- we’re referring to the real life death of Marvel legend Stan Lee. Passed away at the age of 95, Lee has left a long legacy behind him -- and one that goes well beyond the recent years of cameo appearances in the MCU. For the casual fan, Lee is simply known as the creator of Marvel Comics, but his history is long, complicated, and filled with more twists and turns than the comics he wrote for. Take a journey with us as we explore the true story of Stan Lee -- his controversy with the creation of certain Marvel heroes, and the legacy he will leave behind.
What do you think of when you hear the name Stan Lee? For many, it will conjure up an image of the old Stan Lee, a man mostly used for appearances and representative of Marvel’s long history. Even at 95 years old, he had a coolness factor about him. The guy you’d wait in line at a comic convention for. One of the only guys you’d want to sign the front of a classic Marvel comic. The man you say “ah-ha” to when his cameo scene appears in a Marvel movie. But the real Stan Lee is more than just a novelty -- he is a pioneer, a visionist, and the face of Marvel. Like any face of a giant company -- Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg -- Lee has faced his fair share of challenges and debates over the years -- obstacles he has overcome to remain the face of Marvel in almost a revisionist history where many people have placed him as the sole creator of the company.
