Stan Lee
Stan Lee co-created numerous major Marvel Comics characters throughout the 1960s alongside artists including Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, including Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, and the Hulk, working as writer and editor while his artist collaborators handled the visual creation of the characters themselves. Lee's introduction of the "Marvel Method" of collaborative storytelling, in which writers and artists worked out plots together rather than the writer providing a fully scripted panel-by-panel breakdown in advance, became a significant and widely adopted approach within mainstream American comics production. His characters were notable for introducing more psychologically flawed, relatable superheroes than DC Comics' more traditionally idealized characters of the same era, with Spider-Man's Peter Parker specifically written as a financially struggling, socially awkward teenager rather than a conventionally heroic figure. His combination of co-creating dozens of Marvel's most enduring characters and his introduction of psychologically flawed superhero writing has made Lee one of the most commercially and culturally significant figures in the history of American comic books.
VS
Jim Davis
Jim Davis created "Garfield" in 1978, and the strip went on to become one of the most widely syndicated comic strips in the world, appearing in thousands of newspapers across dozens of countries at its peak circulation. Davis has said he deliberately designed Garfield around universally relatable, low-stakes themes, including laziness, hunger for lasagna, and disdain for Mondays, specifically to maximize the strip's broad, easily translatable appeal across different cultures and age groups rather than relying on topical or culturally specific humor. Garfield's commercial licensing became a substantial business in its own right, with Davis building an extensive merchandising operation, Paws, Incorporated, that has kept the character present across toys, television specials, and film adaptations for more than four decades. His combination of Garfield's record-setting global newspaper syndication and his extensive standalone licensing business has made Davis one of the most commercially successful cartoonists in publishing history.
