Stan Lee, iconic comic writer and film producer was best known for co-creating iconic superheroes like Iron Man, Thor, Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, the Hulk, the X-Men, Black Panther and more. He has passed away at age 95 after being rushed to hospital in the early hours of the morning.
Lee's publicist, Dawn Miller, said in a statement to BuzzFeed News that he was "a tremendous character that will never be forgotten. He brought joy to so many, the world has lost a true legend. I feel honoured to have worked with him for so many years, may he rest in peace."
In 2008, Lee was honoured as “one of America's most prolific storytellers” by then-president George W. Bush, who awarded him the National Medal of Arts; “His complex plots and humane superheroes celebrate courage, honesty, and the importance of helping the less fortunate, reflecting America's inherent goodness."
He will be missed.
