10 Amazing Stan Lee Comics Marvel Fans Must Read

10. Ravage 2099 #1-8

When anyone thinks of the 1990s, Stan Lee does not come to mind as a creative force. Marvel Comics was in a very different place than it would be at the turn of the century, so when Lee's name is given credit as creator and writer for an ongoing series in 1992, it was a big deal. Ravage 2099 was co-created by the artist Paul Ryan, but the plotting is definitely all Lee.

For the first seven issues of Ravage 2099, Stan Lee brought his unique flair for storytelling into the 2099 banner of books with a wholly original character. Originally the CEO of a environmental conservation subsidiary of the evil mega-corporation of the 2099 universe, Alchemax, Paul-Phillip Ravage is set up and becomes a fugitive standing against the villainous conglomerates with an adventure stretching throughout the 2099 world.

These first few issues certainly weren't the best works Stan Lee ever put out, but it was great to see Lee in new surroundings. It's still Lee, only with the veneer of nineties comic book-dom.
