Stan Lee, Comic Book and Pop Culture Legend, Dead at 95

Stan Lee, the legendary comic book creator, writer, and editor, has passed away at the age of 95. A titan in the field of comics, Lee made his name in the early days of Marvel, co-creating characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and more. In recent years, he transformed himself into an omnipresent pop culture icon, a smirking, charming, devil-may-care rogue with a quip for every occasion and a cameo in every Marvel movie.

TMZ reports that Lee passed away this morning after being rushed to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The comic book legend has been ill for several years and had even cancelled all future convention appearances.

More to come…
