The comic book mogul had reportedly suffered from pneumonia earlier in February this year, while in 2016, he began having issues with his issues and could no longer read his own comics.
Lee’s daughter confirmed his death to the media, while Marvel has already issued a statement in tribute of the comic book icon. An excerpt from their statement reads,
“Today, Marvel Comics and The Walt Disney Company pause and reflect with great sadness on the passing of Marvel Chairman Emeritus, Stan Lee. With a heavy heart, we share our deepest condolences with his daughter and brother, and we honour and remember the creator, voice and champion of Marvel.”
