Who Is The Family Of The Marvel Comics Creator? Stan Lee’s Parents, Wife, And Kids

Who Is The Family Of The Marvel Comics Creator? Stan Lee’s Parents, Wife, And Kids

The greatest comic book writer that’s ever lived Stan Lee was born in a humble Jewish family in New York. He grew up dreaming about becoming a great novelist, which pushed him to seek out work Timely Comics (later turned into Marvel Comics) at the age of 17 with the help of his uncle. Stan was preparing to realize his ideas into life, when World War II interrupted his plans. Lee entered the United States Army and worked there at the Training Film Division writing slogans and drawing inspirational cartoons. After war, he returned to Timely Comics and spent most of 1950s learning the craft.

Date of Birth: December 28, 1922

Date of Death: November 12, 2018 (age 95)

Zodiac Sign: Capricorn

In late 1950s, Stan Lee met his creative partner Jack Kirby, with whom he created Fantastic Four, Hulk, Iron Man, and many other iconic Marvel superheroes. In just over a decade their work gained such wide popularity that Lee was able to retire from writing and became a publisher and face of Marvel Comics. Since then, the universe he’s created expanded and turned into a multi-billion industry. Stan Lee made cameos in every single film based on his work and pre-taped many appearances for upcoming films. Interestingly, Lee credited his wife as one of his biggest inspirations. He was heartbroken when she passed away in 2017 at the age of 95, and only over a year later Stan died at the same age. Let’s remember Marvel’s father by learning more about his family − the people behind one of the greatest geniuses of our time.
