Stan Lee dies, father of the great Marvel superheroes
He is the father of the superheroes of our life, the creator of an empire that has made as much money as it has distributed. Stan Lee started with a pencil in his hand at the end of the 40s and eventually turned the Timely Comics publishing house into the Marvel we all know, an expanded universe towards cinema, merchandising, etc, etc ... Spider-Man, Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, The Avengers, The X-Men...
All came out of his head and his fist, in alliance with Jack Kirby. They turned the superhero strips consumed by the geeks of yesteryear into popular and massive culture, to the blockbuster movies of today after the sale to Disney of a world full of characters increasingly incardinated in the sentimental memory of several generations.
Stan Lee has died at the age of 95 after several months of hobbling. Last year he received a Hollywood tribute in Los Angeles. One of the last times that was known about him was to declare his admiration to Steve Ditko, co-creator of Spider-Man, who died in July.
With the death of Lee, a time in the comic closes, but it has left to his superheroes flying in the highest thing. of 2001 for DC Comics, the main competitor of Marvel, where he recreated the main characters of his universe (Superman, Batman, Flash, among others).
