BUY Stan Lee
Be inspired by the amazing life of Stan Lee, the comic book genius who created Spider-Man, The Hulk and Iron Man!
Little Stan grew up in New York City. As a child, he loved reading books, poems and newspaper strips. And when he didn’t have his head in a book, he was writing stories of his own.
After he graduated, Stan got his big break in the form of a job as an assistant at a small comic book publisher called Timely Comics. He started by helping the editors with their work, but before long, he was helping to write the comics. He contributed to a Captain America story but soon started to create his very own characters.
From the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man to The Hulk, Stan’s superheroes were innovative and exciting. Even though they were super, they felt human, flaws and all. In the years that followed, he built a solid career at Timely Comics. With Stan’s help, Timely Comics grew to become Marvel, the multi-million-dollar corporation behind some of the most successful Hollywood films, including The Avengers, Black Panther and Ant-Man.
Stan created a whole universe of connecting characters and stories which leapt off the page and into the hearts of millions of fans around the world!
