Stan Lee, the man who co-created Marvel Comics, has died.
An ambulance rushed to Lee's Hollywood Hills home early Monday morning and he was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he died.
Stan started Marvel with Jack Kirby in 1961 with The Fantastic Four. He went on to create Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man and The Avengers.
He had such a great vision for a better world, such a vivid imagination that he was able to bring to life. I wasn't much of a comic book reader, but I LOVE the movies!
He was super special. Awesome Talent. He will be missed.
Yeah, I was never in to comics but really enjoyed the movies.
This is such a wonderful story. Stan Lee gave us superheroes who were human, and we connected with that. In a way, he made US superheroes, too. In his characters he represented genders and cultures before it was politically correct to do so. It's not a stretch to call him a visionary.
