Storytelling wouldn’t be what it is today without Stan Lee. He wasn’t just the wisecracking bystander who made a cameo in dozens of superhero movies. As writer, editor-in-chief, publisher, and chairman, Lee cocreated many of Marvel Comics’ most enduring characters—from the Avengers to Spider-Man—and turned millions of readers into true believers. Today we celebrate Lee’s legacy with apps and games featuring his iconic crimefighters in all their masked glory.
Read and draw
‣ Stan Lee changed the way we read comics. He also inspired us to create our own, whether by drawing, coloring, or making our photos look like panels from a graphic novel. These apps let you experience the best of Lee’s work and pay tribute with creations that move the medium forward.
Play the games
‣ One testament to Lee’s incredible vision: the boundless fun of Marvel’s mobile games. Heroes and villains trade earth-shattering blows in the epic brawls of Marvel Contest of Champions and Marvel Strike Force. The tactical card battler Marvel Battle Lines blends tic-tac-toe-style face-offs with gorgeous art worthy of a comic book cover. For something lighter, enroll in Marvel Avengers Academy, where teen versions of Cap, Ms. Marvel, and other characters study, dance, and date.
Act and learn
‣ Lee served in the Army during World War II, so it’s no surprise that he wrote many stories for an especially iconic character: Captain America. In his honor, send a letter to a service member with Sandboxx. And learn more about the master’s craft through Lee’s two instructional texts, How to Write Comics and How to Draw Comics, both available in Apple Books.
