In an interview with Big Issue, Mark Millar says that Lee humanized superheroes and helped set the catalyst for the comic book rebirth of the 1960's. When mentioning about Lee's pioneering in comics, he said that Lee's creative endeavors were more important that Disney's. Millar said, "He's more important than Walt Disney. Disney was in there in the beginning with Mickey Mouse but what followed wasn't his own creations." Millar did credit that Stan was the co-creator of the characters that built the House of Ideas, but explains to just look at the top box office numbers.
