Stan Lee (1922-2018).
Stan Lee whose real name is Stanley Martin Lieber was an american comic book writer,editor and publisher. He stated that while growing up,he was influenced by books and movies which would be a stepping stone to his fulfilled life.
As a son of a dress cutter, he decided he was going to do away with inheriting his father's trade which was a popular trend at that time. He attended DeWitt Clinton High School in the bronx. He became engrossed with writing and dreamed of writing numerous novels. He graduated from high school at a young age of 16 years and 6 months in 1939.
His uncle,Robbie Solomon helped him secure a position as an assistant at the New Timely Comics division of the Pulp Magazine.
By the 1960's,it later evolved to become Marvel Comics. Stanley Lieber made his comic-book debut with the text filler " Captain America Foils the Traitor's Revenge" in Captain America Comics, using the pseudonym Stan Lee, which years later he would adopt as his legal name. Lee later explained in his autobiography and numerous other sources that he had intended to save his given name for more literary work. He graduated from writing filler to actual comics with a backup feature titled "'Headline' Hunter, Foreign Correspondent"
Lee entered the United States Army in early 1942 and served within the US as a member of the Signal Corps, repairing telegraph poles and other communications equipment. He was later transferred to the Training Film Division, where he worked writing manuals, training films , slogans, and occasionally cartooning .
His military classification, he says, was "playwright"; he adds that only nine men in the U.S. Army were given that title,which gave him some bragging rights at that time.
In the late 1950s, DC Comics editor Julius Schwartz revived the superhero character and experienced a significant success with its updated version of the Flash , and later with super-team the Justice League of America .
In response, publisher Martin Goodman assigned Lee to come up with a new superhero team. Lee's wife suggested that he experiment with stories he preferred, since he was planning on changing careers and had nothing to lose.
Lee acted on that advice, giving his superheroes a flawed humanity, a change from the ideal archetypes that were typically written for preteens.
Before this, most superheroes were idealistically perfect people with no serious, lasting problems.Lee introduced complex, naturalistic characters,who could have bad tempers, fits of melancholy, and vanity; they bickered amongst themselves, worried about paying their bills and impressing girlfriends, got bored or even were sometimes physically ill.
The first superhero group Lee and artist Jack Kirby created together was the Fantastic Four,
Lee's revolution extended beyond the characters and storylines to the way in which comic books engaged the readership and built a sense of community between fans and creators.
He introduced the practice of regularly including a credit panel on the splash page of each story, naming not just the writer and penciller but also the inker and letterer.
In later years, Lee became a figurehead and public face for Marvel Comics. He made appearances at comic book conventions around America, lecturing at colleges and participating in panel discussions. Lee and John Romita Sr. launched the Spider-Man newspaper comic strip on January 3, 1977.
Lee's final collaboration with Jack Kirby, The Silver Surfer: The Ultimate Cosmic Experience, was published in 1978 as part of the Marvel Fireside Books series and is considered to be Marvel's first graphic artwork.
Stan Lee was also known for his love for charity apart from his heavy involvement in the marvel universe which spans through the characters of Spider-man,Iron Man,Thor,Avengers etc.
The Stan Lee Foundation was founded in 2010 to focus on literacy, education, and the arts. Its stated goals include supporting programs and ideas that improve access to literacy resources, as well as promoting diversity, national literacy, culture and the arts.
He was an active humanitarian till the time of his death and so many tributes have been written about the 95 year old for his contribution to the entertainment world at large.
