Stan Lee was born Stanley Lieber. He was the teenage cousin of the wife of Martin Goodman, owner of
Marvel Comics, which was called Timely Comics at the time. He started working for the company when he
was just 16 years old, about a year after the debut of Superman No. 1. Before he was 21, Lee became
Timely's editor and chief writer. He joined the Army during world War II, and wrote training manuals. He
was one of less than ten Army servicemen to be given the military classification "playwright." During his
first 25 years at Marvel, he wrote at least two comic books per week. He was the creator of Spider-Man,
the Incredible Hulk and the X-Men. A&E recently did a biography on his life. Stan Lee and a long time
friend, Peter F. Paul, started Stan Lee Media as an online animation company, which in February of 2000,
had a market capitalization of over $300 million.
The Hillary Clinton Connection
Several online news sites and newspapers, including the New York Post, featured articles during the last
year regarding the Stan Lee Media Co-Founder Peter Paul suing the Clintons Over Campaign Funds. Peter
Paul, who was recently indicted on stock manipulation charges, said that Hillary Clinton did not report
donations of approximately $2 million he made to her 2000 Senate bid, but never reported the monies to the
Federal Elections Committee because he is a convicted felon. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior
Court, named N.Y. Sen. Clinton, former president Bill Clinton and others as defendants. By exposing the
political couple's alleged failure to report the donations, Paul tried to avoid possible prosecution for
federal campaign-finance violations. According to the Post, the campaign for Mrs. Clinton returned $2,000
of the approximately $2,000,000 in contributions, which were substantiated by Peter Paul's canceled
checks.
