Lee passed away on Monday, November 12th at the age of 95, leaving behind him a profound legacy at Marvel Comics. Immediately following his death, the publisher and Disney released a joint statement regarding the loss.
“Today, Marvel Comics and The Walt Disney Company pause and reflect with great sadness on the passing of Marvel Chairman Emeritus, Stan Lee,” reads the statement. “With a heavy heart, we share our deepest condolences with his daughter and brother, and we honor and remember the creator, voice and champion of Marvel.”
Walt Disney Company Chairman and CEO Bob Iger said, “Stan Lee was as extraordinary as the characters he created. A super hero in his own right to Marvel fans around the world, Stan had the power to inspire, to entertain, and to connect. The scale of his imagination was only exceeded by the size of his heart.”
