Legendary comic book writer Stan Lee was reportedly robbed of $1.4 million and revealed he's currently ill with pneumonia.
TMZ reported detectives arrived at Lee’s Hollywood Hills home Friday to discuss the reported robbery.
Lee has discovered money missing from his account recently. In December, Lee filed a police report after $350,000 apparently disappeared from his bank account. The next month, Lee claimed $850,000 was stolen from him by someone who was trying to buy a condo.
