    On ABC Friday, December 20 (8:00 – 9:00 pm ET) celebrating Marvel’s Stan Lee.
    Marvel has posted about this news on its official Instagram page which makes the news more credible.

    Stan Lee (born December 28, 1922 – November 12, 2018) was an American comic book writer, editor, publisher, and producer. She rose through the ranks of a family-run business to become the primary creative leader of Marvel Comics for two decades, expanding from a small division of a publishing corporation that dominated the comics industry.

    In collaboration with others at Marvel — particularly co-authors / actors Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko — they co-produced several popular fictional characters, including superheroes Spider-Man, X-Men, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, The Fantastic 4, Black Panther, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Scarlet Witch, and Ant-Man.

    To do so, he pioneered a more natural approach to writing superhero comics in the 1960s, and in the 1970s he challenged the Comics Code Authority’s restrictions, leading indirectly to changes in his policies.

    In the 1980s he proceeded to develop Marvel properties in other media with mixed results. Following his retirement from Marvel in the 1990s, he remained a public figure for the company, and often for cameo appearances in films and television shows based on Marvel characters, upon which he received executive producer credit.

    Meanwhile, he continued independent creative ventures throughout the 90s, until his death in 2018.
