After being transferred from the army's Signal Corps in New Jersey, Stan Lee worked as a playwright in the Training Film Division in Queens with eight other men. Few of the men went on to be very famous: Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Saroyan, cartoonist Charles Addams (creator of The Addams Family), Frank Capra director of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and It's a Wonderful Life and Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.
But, to get in the mind of the creator Stan Lee's favorite authors include Stephen King, H. G. Wells, Mark Twain, Arthur Conan Doyle, William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, and Harlan Ellison. Before he went on writing about the lives of fictional characters, Stan Lee wrote antemortem obituaries for celebrities at an undisclosed news office in New York. He says that he eventually quit that job because it was too "depressing."
A week into his job at Timely Comics, Lee got the opportunity to write a two-page Captain America comic. He wrote it under the pen name Stan Lee (Stanley Martin Lieber being his original name) and titled it Captain America Foils the Traitor's Revenge. His first full comic script would come in Captain America Issue 5, published August 1, 1941. Timely Comics soon became Atlas Comics and after Marvel Comics.
Stan Lee sadly died on November 12, 2018 from heart and respiratory failure while also suffering from aspiration Pneumonia.
