Saying good-buy to a real-life superhero

Stan Lee (1922 - 2018) was an American comic-book writer, editor, and publisher, who was executive vice president and publisher of Marvel Comics.

Lee co-created Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Daredevil, Thor, the X-Men, and many other fictional characters, introducing a thoroughly shared universe into superhero comic books.
