About the Illustrators
Stan Lee (1922–2018), born Stanley Martin Lieber to Romanian-Jewish immigrants in Manhattan, began as an assistant at Timely Comics and became editor by 19. In 1961, he co-created The Fantastic Four with Jack Kirby, revitalising the Super Hero genre and launching the Silver Age of comics. Lee went on to co-create icons like Spider-Man, the Hulk, Thor and Iron Man, served as Marvel’s editor-in-chief until 1972, and made numerous cameos in Marvel films, earning recognition as a key architect of the Marvel Universe.
Jack Kirby (1917–94), born Jacob Kurtzberg to Austrian-Jewish immigrants in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, was a self-taught artist who started in animation and co-created Captain America with Joe Simon in 1940. After World War II service, he returned to Marvel and co-created The Fantastic Four in 1961 with Stan Lee, followed by Thor, the Hulk, and Iron Man. A central figure of the Silver Age, Kirby’s dynamic, explosive style continues to shape comic book art today, earning him the fitting nickname ‘The King’.
