He saw the Great Depression spawn
Unemployment, lack of funds
In a Nation suffering from the glums.
This prolific writer ran
With characters like Spider-Man
Whose Red-and-Blue form hit the screens
And fired up many children's dreams
Exciting plots flowed from his pen:
Dare Devil, Iron Man, X-Men,
Captain America, Doctor Strange
Formed his most amazing range.
Excitement promised on the cover
A world of action like no other
His complex story lines inspired
His artists to keep pace, though tired!
Son of a Romanian refugee
Known by the public as Stan Lee*
He's left us now - aged 95
But his genius comic books survive!
