Stan Lee was born in New York City, New York, on December 28, 1922.  He brought many great characters to the comic book world throughout the 1960’s before eventually becoming the editor of the world famous Timely Comics, which are now referred to as Marvel Comics.  He joined forces as the editor of the comic book series very soon after his duties were served in World War II.  Their rival comics were the D.C. Comics and shortly after Stan Lee took over as editor of Timely Comics, they became the “powerhouse” in comic books with the help of Stan Lee and his creation of other famous characters such as The Incredible Hulk and Captain America.

In the later years of Stan Lee’s career, he made his way into movies, internet shows, and television shows. He has lectured at many colleges and made many appearances at comic book conventions including the San Diego Comic-Con International held July 2010. He will always be remembered as one of the few that brought comic books to the popularity that we all know today.
