Marvel’s real-life superhero, writer, editor, and publisher was responsible for many of the characters we love such as Spider-Man, the X-Men, Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther and the Fantastic Four.

Lee began in the business in 1939 and worked up until this year on the very popular Blank Panther movie released this year. The legend passed earlier Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Lee’s legacy in the production and writing community has been HUGE and he will be missed.
