Quotes

“WITH GREAT POWER THERE MUST ALSO COME----------GREAT RESPONSIBILITY!”
“Face front, true believer!”
“They are working on The Fantastic Four, The Silver Surfer, Iron Man, Dr. Strange, The Hulk— they're doing a sequel to Spider-Man, a sequel to X-Men, and probably a third sequel to Blade. They still haven't gotten around to Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.— they have to do the Ghost Rider.”
“To me you can wrap all of Judaism up in one sentence, and that is, 'Do not do unto others...' All I tried to do in my stories was show that there's some innate goodness in the human condition. And there's always going to be evil; we should always be fighting evil.”
“As comics writers we had to have villains in our stories. And once World War II started, the Nazis gave us the greatest villains in the world to fight against. It was a slam dunk.”
“What did Doctor Doom really want? He wanted to rule the world. Now, think about this. You could walk across the street against a traffic light and get a summons for jaywalking, but you could walk up to a police officer and say "I want to rule the world," and there's nothing he can do about it, that is not a crime. Anybody can want to rule the world. So, even though he was the Fantastic Four's greatest menace, in my mind, he was never a criminal!”

Stan Lee (född 28 december 1922, död 12 november 2018), var en amerikansk serieredaktör och manusförfattare, som tillsammans med tecknare som Jack Kirby , Steve Ditko , Don Heck , Bill Everett etc. lade grunderna till Marvels universum "Marvels universum (plats)") .[[1]]( Stan Lee föddes som Stanley Martin Lieber den 28 december 1922 i New York. Som 17-åring fick han anställning på Martin Goodmans nystartade serieförlag Timely Comics , för vilket han snart blev redaktör. Timely utvecklades sedermera till Atlas Comics (1951) och Marvel Comics (1961), och Lee utgjorde det kreativa navet för serieproduktionen, både som redaktör, manusförfattare (genom The Marvel Method ), och frontperson. När han själv började skriva seriemanus, använde han sig av pseudonymen Stan Lee, ett namn som han långt senare gjorde till sitt legala namn; i sin självbiografi har han förklarat att han från början avsåg att vänta med att använda sitt riktiga namn till när han kunde ge ut mer seriösa verk. Bror till Larry Lieber . Stanley hade tänkt skriva den "stora amerikanska romanen" och ville inte att hans namn skulle vara förknippat med dessa "löjliga serietidningar", utan signerade dessa med Stan Lee. I serietidningen 2000 AD nr 484 möter Judge Dredd en kampsportskunnig skurk vid namn Stan Lee, i "The Fists of Stan Lee". Sedan 2000-talet har Stan Lee figurerat flitigt i film och TV, och har bland annat en cameo i lejonparten av filmerna baserade på Marvels figurer.

Article

Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber /ˈliːbər/; December 28, 1922 – November 12, 2018) was an American comic book writer, editor, publisher, and producer. He rose through the ranks of a family-run business called Timely Comics, which later became Marvel Comics. He was Marvel's primary creative leader for two decades, expanding it from a small publishing house division to a multimedia corporation that dominated the comics and film industries.

In collaboration with others at Marvel—particularly co-plotters and artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko—he co-created iconic characters, including Spider-Man, the X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk, Ant-Man, the Wasp, the Fantastic Four, Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, the Scarlet Witch, and Black Widow. These and other characters' introductions in the 1960s pioneered a more naturalistic approach in superhero comics. In the 1970s, Lee challenged the restrictions of the Comics Code Authority, indirectly leading to changes in its policies. In the 1980s, he pursued the development of Marvel properties in other media, with mixed results.
