(born Stanley Martin Lieber /ˈliːbər/, December 28, 1922 – November 12, 2018) American comic-book writer, editor, and publisher. He was editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, later its publisher and chairman, leading its expansion from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.
In collaboration with several artists –
particularly Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko –
he co-created fictional characters including
Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange,
the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Black Panther,
the X-Men, and – with his brother and
co-writer Larry Lieber – the characters of
Ant-Man, Iron Man, and Thor. In doing so,
he pioneered a more complex approach to
writing superheroes in the 1960s, and in the 1970s
challenged the standards of the Comics Code
Authority leading to it updating its policies.
