In a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone, comic book icon Stan Lee (who was 91 at the time) gave a long-ranging interview about the birth and evolution of Marvel Comics.
He elucidated the incredible burst of creativity he had in the 1960s alongside artists like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, leading to legendary characters like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Avengers and more. You don’t have to be a comic book nerd to know that these characters have only grown in popularity (and profitability) since they started saving the world seven decades ago.
