Stan Lee, The Greatest American Superhero
He lived in his own world of make-believe into which he retreated in spite of all the outside influences.
This make-believe world spawned Spiderman, Daredevil, the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk...is it possible to name all of them?
Born Stanley Lieber in New York in 1922, he is better known now as Stan Lee, the ultimate PURVEYOR OF WONDER!
The story of how he got his big break at Timely Comics (which he grew into Marvel Comics) is interesting -- 20th century-style social networking:
With the help of his uncle, Robbie Solomon, pulp magazine and comic-book publisher Martin Goodman, Lee became an assistant at the new Timely Comics division of Goodman's company.
I got connected to him via 21st century-style social networking: the INTERNET!
You never know who you're going to meet to make your creative dreams come true.

i remember growing up with DC and Marvel comics in my preteen and teen years - they provided me with a channel for my fantasy and creativity and inspired me to draw and create my own comic characters and scenes - and that actually was instrumental in my getting admitted into a prestigious design school! alas, it's been decades since i actually drew a comic strip or story but one day i hope to return to it, with love and care.
