"Mr.
Lee was often faulted for not adequately acknowledging the
contributions of his illustrators, especially Mr. Kirby. Spider-Man
became Marvel’s best-known property, but Mr. Ditko, its co-creator, quit
Marvel in bitterness in 1966. Mr. Kirby, who visually designed
countless characters, left in 1969. Though he reunited with Mr. Lee for a
Silver Surfer graphic novel in 1978, their heyday had ended.

Marvel Comics' Stan Lee Passes Away at 95; November 12, 2018
Kip Currier; Marvel Comics' Stan Lee Dies at 95
Marvel Comics' legend Stan Lee passed away today at the age of 95 in Los Angeles. In the 1960's, Lee collaborated with the late iconic artist Jack Kirby (and later, others as well) in co-creating many of Marvel's most famous superhero characters--the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, the Avengers, the X-Men, the Black Panther, and many more. Lee and Kirby's creations now rank among the most lucrative Intellectual Property in the "616 universe".
It's interesting to note the headlines that have been appearing today--some citing Lee as "creator", while others use "co-creator":
