Stan Lee
Stan Lee (1922-2018)
Writer and editor, Stan Lee, made comic book history with Jack Kirby in 1961 with Fantastic Four #1. The monumental popularity of its new style inspired Lee to develop similarly themed characters, including the Hulk and X-Men with Kirby, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil with Bill Everett. After shepherding his creations through dozens of issues, Lee allowed other writers to take over but maintained steady editorial control. Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into a multimedia empire. In recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in Marvel’s films established Lee as one of the world’s most famous faces.
Gene Colan (1926-2011)
The unique, shadowy style of Gene Colan most memorably appeared in long stints on Captain America and Daredevil, and all 70 issues of Tomb of Dracula—among the dozens of other Marvel titles he drew. His DC work on Detective Comics and Night Force is equally well remembered. During the Golden Age, he drew multiple war stories for Marvel and DC alike. Colan earned several Eagle Awards and had professional art showings in New York City. His work on Ed Brubaker’s Captain America at the age of 82 drew well-deserved raves.
John Romita
Born in 1930, John Romita drew for Atlas Era Marvel Comics across many genres. By the time Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko were defining the look and feel of the Marvel Age of Comics during the 1960s, Romita had made the move to DC Comics, where he worked exclusively behind the scenes on the company’s many romance comics. It wasn’t until 1966 that he returned to Marvel Comics and the superhero genre, drawing Daredevil before taking over from Ditko on what was fast becoming Marvel’s most important book, Amazing Spider-Man. Romita’s slick, clean craftsmanship was a hallmark of his tenure, and his years of drawing beautiful women in DC’s romance books paid off with iconic renderings of Gwen Stacy, Mary Jane Watson, and the other women in Peter Parker’s life.
John Buscema (1927-2002)
John Buscema literally wrote the book on being a Marvel artist: How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way. Few were better qualified. His career dated back to the Timely/Atlas era of the late 1940s and early 1950s. Soon after beginning the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee recruited Buscema from the advertising field to the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a long run on Avengers with the long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor, and other titles. By the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title, including his personal favorite, Conan the Barbarian.
