[2020·唐山一模]Stan Lee, cofounder of the Marvel Universe (漫威宇宙) and
cocreator of many of its most popular superheroes, died at the age of 95.
Lee was born Stanley Martin Lieber in New York in 1922. As a son of workingclass
Jewish immigrants from Romania, times were hard and he lived with his family in a
shabby singlebedroom apartment. After graduating from high school at 16, Lieber
landed a job as an assistant at Timely Comics. By the early 1940s, he was a temporary
editor for the company. It was at this time that he began using his pen name — Stan
Lee. In 1947, two years after returning from serving for the U. S. Army, Lee married
his wife, Joan. The two began their 70year marriage and had two children.
In the late 1950s, DC Comics breathed new life into its classic superhero
and experienced a significant success with its updated version of the Flash, and later
with superteam the Justice League of America.
To compete against DC Comics, Lee was given the task of creating their own
group of superheroes. In 1961, Timely Comics changed its name into Marvel Comics after
Atlas Comics, and that November saw the debut(首次亮相) of the Fantastic Four. Lee's
later famous and lasting creations of comicbook superheroes included SpiderMan,
the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man and the XMen.
Over the course of his career, Lee was an icon of Marvel Comics. As a writer
and editor and, at various points, both the publisher and vice president of Marvel Comics, Lee not only introduced interesting characters to the industry, but changed
the way that comic books came together. He also created a cooperative workflow between
writers and artists, which became known as the “Marvel Method”. Lee received a
National Medal of Arts in 2008 for his innovations that revolutionized American comic
books.
