Stan Lee is widely recognized as a brilliant showman, reminiscent of a carnival barker for Marvel Comics, often referred to as the comic book grandfather by many. His popularity skyrocketed with the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making him an icon in the eyes of the general public. However, it’s important to acknowledge that Lee is not the only significant figure in the comics industry. One such individual who deserves immense respect is Jenette Kahn.
Kahn assumed the role of publisher at DC Comics in the late 1970s and managed to turn a nearly bankrupt company into a creative powerhouse. While Stan Lee is often credited with making comics great, Kahn’s contributions to DC Comics played an integral part in elevating the publisher – and the entire comic book industry – to unprecedented heights.
