Rest in peace Stan Lee. The editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, and later its publisher and chairman. In collaboration with several artists – particularly Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko – he co-created fictional characters including so many of my childhood superhero favourites such as Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Black Panther, the X-Men, and – also with co-writer Larry Lieber – Ant-Man, Iron Man, and Thor. Stan Lee pioneered a more complex approach and presentation of comic superheroes. This is a sad sad day for the comics universe. #StanLee
