I'm currently calling my BFF, crying because today, November 12th, 2018, Stan Lee, creator of Marvel died at the age of 95 in Los Angeles, California.
Stan Lee was born on December 28th, 1922 in Manhattan, New York City.
Stan Lee in 2006 was influenced by books and movies, particularly those ones with Errol Flynn playing the heroic roles.
By the time Stan Lee was in his teens, his family was living in an apartment at 1720 University Avenue in The Bronx.
With the help of Stan Lee's uncle, Robbie Solomon, Stan Lee became an assistant in 1939 at the new Timely Comics division of pulp magazine and comic-book publisher Martin Goodman's company.
Timely, by the 1960s, would evolve into Marvel Comics.
Stan Lee, whose cousin Jean was Goodman's wife, was formally hired by Timely editor Joe Simon.
