Stanley Martin Lieber started his career as an office assistant at Timely Comics in 1939 (Timely eventually became Marvel Comics in 1961). Lee made his comic-book debut with the text filler “Captain America Foils the Traitor’s Revenge” in Captain America Comics #3, shortly after that he became an interim editor for the company in the early 1940s.
From 1942-1945, Lee served stateside in the US Army in the Training Film Division, where he was involved in writing manuals, training films, and making slogans.
As they say, the rest is history…
Goodbye Mr. Lee, and thank you for many years of inspiration and entertainment, you will be missed
