His moving on was about financial considerations. Marvel never stopped his creativity. He felt he wasn't being adequately compensated for it!

  
I don't think Kirby would have created those characters just for Stan Lee to take them over.  Of course Marvel didn't stop his creativity, he did it himself when it finally hit him that he was giving away some great characters and concepts for nothing.
