The final installment of the “Four-Color Trilogy” about three key moments in the history of comic books, THE HOUSE OF IDEAS examines the rise of Marvel and the fraught relationship between the Lennon and McCartney of comic books, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Today, Marvel Entertainment stands near the center of our popular culture. It was in the 1960s that Marvel Comics began creating dozens of memorable characters and built a single cohesive world for them to inhabit. In comic books, this was revolutionary. But Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the two men at the center of this renaissance, struggle with the idea of credit now that they’ve made it something worth struggling over.
