Stan Lee, the legendary writer, editor and publisher of Marvel Comics, who revolutionised the comic book and helped make billions for Hollywood by introducing human frailties in superheroes is dead.
He died on Monday at the age of 95 after an ambulance was called to his Hollywood Hills home early in the morning and he was rushed to Cedars-Sinai hospital. He passed on shortly after arriving at the medical facility.
He is survived by his daughter and only child Joan Celia, known as ‘J.C.’’
His wife Joan died in July of last year after suffering complications from a stroke. The pair had been married for 70 years at the time of her death.
Incredible Hulk, Thor, the X-Men, Dr. Strange, Iron Man, Spiderman and Captain America are just a few of the many superhuman, and super flawed, characters created by Lee.
