Remember, this was at a time when Jack was socking away new concepts and ideas by the bushel, not willing to give them over for Marvel's exploitation.<BR/><BR/>Still, I think Stan Lee is very responsible for a lot of the things that I like about the early Marvel comics, and if he wasn't a titan of innovation like Kirby, he was a very good editor who, for a while, seemed to know how to get great work out of good people.Jason Michelitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767079752049307802noreply@blogger.com
