Honorable Discharge documentation for Stanley Lieber

Lee served in the Army from 1942 to 1945. He was honorably discharged with a medal for good conduct. Notice his classification as "Playwright." He was one of the few in the Army with this designation. His Army experience honed his craft. He not only learned to create content quickly, but also developed skills in managing creative teams efficiently. This experience later contributed to his development of the "Marvel Method," where he would provide artists with plot outlines rather than full scripts, allowing them to tell the story visually through penciling and inking before he added dialogue and captions.
