Legendary comic book writer and publisher Stan Lee, who co-created some of the most beloved superheroes of all time, including Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers, had a significant influence on popular culture. Despite achieving outstanding success, Lee was embroiled in several controversies such as battles over intellectual property rights and allegations of elder abuse, all of which had been previously reported by various media outlets.

 In a new twist, Lee’s story has gained renewed interest as an upcoming documentary is aiming to explore the alleged complexities and manipulations that the late writer struggled with prior to his passing on November 12, 2018, at the age of 95.

Jon Bolerjack, a former assistant to Stan Lee and a trusted member of his inner circle, has taken up the duty of shedding light on the challenges faced by the comic book legend in his final years through the documentary Stan Lee: The Final Years, a project he claimed to have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in.

In the newly released trailer, Bolerjack questioned the previous narratives peddled by media outlets, claiming they did not fairly depict Lee’s circumstances. He noted that the late writer’s condition was far more severe than the public had been led to believe, revealing that Lee was not only struggling with health problems but also in a major financial disaster at the time of his death. It also showed that despite his failing health, several individuals within his circle forced him to attend book signings which continued to impact his well-being.

He noted that Lee’s approval was probably born out of his desire to warn let the world know about his struggles and warn other creatives to avoid the pitfalls he encountered in his career.
