Stan lee dies at age 95
Were it not for Stan Lee, superheroes would be fewer in number, financially poorer, but better-adjusted people. The torch-bearing writer, editor, and longtime Marvel Comics head honcho has died, PEOPLE confirms. He was 95.
In a six-decade career as comic-dom’s reigning creative, Lee helped cast the template for the modern caped crusader, conjuring up hundreds of heroes who pulsed with his signature brand of bruised humanity — among them Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, and Thor.
Lee received the National Medal of Arts and the National Humanities Medal from President George W. Bush in 2008 and was inducted into the comics industry’s Jack Kirby Hall of Fame and Will Eisner Award Hall of Fame.
RIP Mr. Lee
