According to SF Gate, famed comic book writer and editor Stan Lee has died at the age of 95.
Born Stanley Martin Lieber in late 1922, Lee began his lengthy career in comics during 1939.
After serving in the US Army Signal Corps during World War 2, he returned to the comics biz and conceived Marvel Comics.
During the 1960s, Lee developed numerous superhero characters and troupes with artist Jack Kirby that became pop culture icons themselves, like the Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man.
Lee eventually became the publisher of Marvel Comics in 1972, when he became more focused on promoting the business.
