Stan Lee, beloved Marvel Comics creator and filmmaker, dies at 95



Stan Lee, the beloved artist and storyteller who gave the world Spider-Man, Black Panther, the Hulk and countless more iconic comic book characters, has died, multiple outlets confirm. He was 95.

Lee was reportedly rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center early Monday morning, where he passed away.

Born in 1922 in New York City, Lee was just 19 years old when prominent comic book artist Jack Kirby took notice of his talent. Together, the two launched Marvel Comics in 1961.

As the Marvel Universe expanded, so too did Lee's role in its creative and business operations. After serving as the company's editor-in-chief, publisher and chairman, he eventually stepped away from the day-to-day operations to become its chairman emeritus.

Lee and his wife, Joan, wed in 1947 and raised two children in New York City. After 69 years of marriage, Joan passed away in 2017 at 95 years old.

It feels fitting to use Lee's favorite sign-off: Excelsior.
