PROFILE: Stan Lee
A thorough Career Examination

Stan "The Man" Lee is fondly remembered as the co-creator of Marvel Comics. Along with Jack Kirby, Stan created many of the most popular comics on the stands today. Spider-man, the X-Men, the Avengers, the Fantastic Four. Stan and Jack revolutionized comics in 1963, and we'd all be a lot worse off without them. This month our ProFile turns it's eye to Stan Lee; his past, his present, and his future. From the early days of Marvel to the glittering online world of StanLeeMedia.com, Stan's creativity bridges generations as easily as it does technology. Ladies and gentlemen, Stan Lee.
