The 95-year-old cancelled appearances at Salt Lake City Comic Con and the Big Apple Comic Con last year due to illness but the emergency services reported he is currently in a stable condition.

A spokesperson for Mr Lee said: “He is doing well and feeling good, he is staying there for a few days for some check ups as a safety precaution."

The comic book hall of fame inductee has co-created fictional characters including Spider-Man, the Hulk, Doctor Strange, the Fantastic Four, Daredevil, Black Panther and the X-Men, among others.

His admittance comes after the famed creator became ill at his home on Wednesday.
