Stan Lee,  Marvel Comics Legend

Legendary comic book Writer and Publisher Stanley "Stan Lee" Lieber died Monday, November 12th 2018 after being rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. 

Stan Lee started his career at Marvel before there was a Marvel. In 1939 Timely Comics Publisher Mark Goodman, on the word of Stans uncle Robbie Solomon, took a chance on a young Stan Lee making him an assistant at the new Timely comics division of his pulp publishing empire. By the early 1960's Marvel Comics was formed and Stan Lee was its head writer, writing some of the greatest stories ever told by Marvel and illustrated by masters of the comic book craft. 

Along with names like Jack "The King" Kirby, John Romita Sr., Steve Ditko, Don Heck, Bill Everett and Joe Maneely, Stan Lee created some of the biggest books in the Marvel Universe.

An official cause of death has yet to be released but we can expect more details to be forthcoming in the coming hours and days. 

The comic book world has lost one of its original heros, sparking imaginations for generations and becoming the de facto embassador of Comics worldwide. Excelsior.

Stan Lee's message for fans.

Stan Lee has message for fans after concern over hand injury.

Stan "The Man" Lee took to Twitter earlier today to address an issue with his hand. Many had recently noticed he was not using his left (his dominant) hand and worried over his health. It was also recently announced that Lee would no longer be making his famed public appearances or doing his regular autograph signings. 

Now into his mid-90s, and after a very public split from his personal manager, he is retiring to a more private life. He still however maintains a strong social media connection with his fans. In his latest video for fans, Lee explains that his left hand is feeling fine now, though, there does seem to be something wrong with his right hand! Lee lifts his hand to reveal a giant Hulk hand poking fun and easing worried minds.
