	"Stan Lee: Comic Guru" by Michael Goldman
		Lee is also gratified that, after numerous snafus over the years, some Marvel characters will finally begin hitting the big screen in live-action film formats.
		For Lee and most of his fans, though, it all began with comics, and without the fertile creative explosion that occurred at Marvel in the early 1960s, the worlds of animation and feature films would be without some major action characters.
		He thought he shouldn't use his given name, Stan Lieber, on "mere comic books when I was hoping to do much more important writing later." Of course, he ended up doing his "important" writing on comic books for decades, and eventually, he had his name legally changed to Stan Lee.

	Stan Lee
		Lee is revered by comic book fans for creating Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, and other fresh superheroes of the 1960s.
		The company was overshadowed by rival D.C. Comics (home to Superman) but in the 1960s Lee made Marvel into a comics powerhouse by introducing conflicted, wisecracking superheroes who were as different from Superman as was Steve McQueen from Gary Cooper.
		(His Stan Lee Media was a prominent dot-com flop.) Feature films based on Lee's Marvel characters include Spider-Man (2002, with Tobey Maguire), The X-Men (2000) and 2003's The Hulk (directed by Ang Lee, no relation to Stan).
