Funnyman Bill Maher socked it to late Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee, dissing him Saturday as a mere mortal “who inspired millions to, I don’t know, watch a movie.”

“I don’t think it’s a huge stretch to suggest that Donald Trump could only get elected in a country that thinks comic books are important,” Maher wrote on his blog — griping that both the 2016 elections and the popularity of comics are proof “we’re using our smarts on stupid stuff.”

Lee — the co-creator of a slew of characters, including Black Panther, Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and the Incredible Hulk — died Monday in Los Angeles at age 95.

When he was a kid, Maher wrote, the assumption was “comics were for kids, and when you grew up you moved on to big-boy books without the pictures.”

Then, twenty years ago, “adults decided they didn’t have to give up kid stuff. And so they pretended comic books were actually sophisticated literature,” he writes.
