Stan Lee biography

Stanley Martin Lieber was born in Manhattan, New York City, on December 28, 1922.

In the apartment of his Romanian-born Jewish immigrant parents, Celia and Jack Lieber, at the junction of West 98th Street and West End Avenue.

Lee was reared in a Jewish household and declared in a 2002 interview that he believed in God.

When asked about his Romanian ancestry and relationship with the country in another interview in 2011, he stated that he had never visited it and that he did not know Romanian because his parents never taught it to him.

After the Great Depression, Lee’s father, a trained garment cutter, worked only infrequently, and the family relocated to Fort Washington Avenue in Washington Heights, Manhattan.

Education

Lee went to the Bronx’s DeWitt Clinton High School.

Lee adored writing as a child and hoped to one day write the “Great American Novel.”

In his youth, he worked part-time jobs such as writing obituaries for a news service and press releases for the National Tuberculosis Center; delivering sandwiches to offices in Rockefeller Center for the Jack May pharmacy; working as an office boy for a trouser manufacturer; ushering at the Rivoli Theater on Broadway, and selling subscriptions to the New York Herald Tribune newspaper.

Career

Lee became an assistant at pulp magazine and comic-book publisher Martin Goodman’s new Timely Comics branch in 1939, thanks to the assistance of his uncle Robbie Solomon.

At first, his responsibilities were routine. “Back then, [the artists] would dip the pen in ink, so I had to make sure the inkwells were full,” Lee recounted in 2009.

Two issues later, Lee progressed from filler to actual comics with a backup feature, “‘Headline’ Hunter, Foreign Correspondent,” written under the pen name “Reel Nats.”

When Simon and his creative collaborator Jack Kirby resigned in late 1941 due to a disagreement with Goodman, the 30-year-old publisher appointed Lee, who was only 19 at the time, as interim editor.

Lee joined the US Army in early 1942 and served as a Signal Corps member, maintaining telegraph poles and other communications equipment.

Lee wrote stories in a range of genres in the mid-1950s, when the firm was now known as Atlas Comics, including romance, Westerns, humor, science fiction, mediaeval adventure, horror, and suspense.

In the late 1950s, DC Comics editor Julius Schwartz resurrected the superhero archetype and found popularity with an updated version of the Flash, and later with the Justice League of America super-team.

Throughout the 1960s, Lee wrote, art-directed, and edited the majority of Marvel’s series, moderated the letters pages, authored a monthly column called “Stan’s Soapbox,” and produced unending advertising copy, frequently signed off with his characteristic motto, “Excelsior!”

Following Ditko’s departure from Marvel in 1966, Lee’s colleague on The Amazing Spider-Man was John Romita Sr. Within a year, it had surpassed Fantastic Four as the company’s best-seller.

Fantastic Four #48 was voted #24 in Marvel’s readers’ poll of the 100 Greatest Marvels of All Time in 2001.

Lee indirectly contributed to the modification of the Comics Code in 1971.

Lee ceased creating monthly comic books in 1972 to become a publisher. His final Amazing Spider-Man issue was #110 (July 1972), and his final Fantastic Four issue was #125. (August 1972).
