Now back on topic please

[Spade]

I'll tell you what hasn't been his greatest acomplishments...those direct-to-DVD movies and that stupid superhero show on the Sci-Fi Channel.

And, as if it hasn't been said enough already, this thread's title gives a misleading jolt.

[The Geek Vault]

Jesus, dude. I thought he died when I read your thread title.
Oh jebus, me too! Ya scared me man!

[Manic]

Allow me to pick my jaw up off the floor. For a second there, I thought he was dead.

[Spade]

It does sort of give you a reminder, though...the man won't live forever.

[ShadowBoxing]

Ack! Don't f***ing scare me like that :( :cmad:

[Manic]

Even if Stan died, he'd just come back a couple years later, and we'll find out the body in his coffin was some hobo.

But Joe Simon created the best :up:

[Elijya]

I'm taking out the "1922-2007". There, simple fix.

[KangConquers]

But Joe Simon created the best :up:

Indeed.

Though Stan redefined him for the modern age, and even wrote issues of Cap in the golden age.

[Steve Rogers]

I dont want to take away from the greatness that is "Stan the Man Lee" but some of the characters on your list were not created by Stan.....

Vision , Ultron and Grim Reaper were created by Roy Thomas & John Buscema.

Havok was created by Roy Thomas and Neal Adams

The original Human Torch was created by Carl Burgos for Timely Comics

And Thor and Loki are both characters in Norse Mythology....it wouldnt be fair to say he created them.But he did build those characters from the ones in the myth.

Stan Lee = Class act.

Unlike many other comic creators who consider themselves gods Stan Lee always seems rather humble always ready to give props to the artists he worked with rather than himself. Like i said a class act and seems like the nicest guy on the planet.

[CaptainStacy]

I think this thread can go where ever it damn well pleases......

It's STAN LEE.......



*smiles*

Word. :word:

[Arkady Rossovich]

I also think that Jack Kirby created the Silver Surfer,and Lee had a part in Spider-Man..but not as big as he says.

Tell that to Steve Ditko.

[Iceburgeruk]

Tell that to Steve Ditko.

I though stan was nice about ditko? In a documentary on comcis i`m sure he said ditko`s pencils almost didn`t require the speech bubbles, which coming from the writer must be praise indeed. I`m sure he was talking about ditko.

[sto_vo_kor_2000]

Well he was writting both books when the characters first came out so its a hard one to debate.

[Harlekin]

Oh, he's complimented Ditko and others enough, but he's quite arrogant about the creator credits. As Lee tells it in "In Search of Steve Ditko" (recent hour BBC documentary), Ditko should essentially be honoured that Lee is willing to give him co-creator rights, even though he himself believes he thought it all up on his own.

My respect for Lee really took a down turn after that interview.

[Memphis Slim]

Stan Lee will never die... he will rise again like the Phoenix


Lee is radioactive.

[2112ad]

He co-created an entire universe. A comic book character isn't a comic book character without a "look". I also saw the Steve Ditko interview and thought Lee's answer to the "co-creation" question was arrogant and wrong (or at the very least -- poorly phrased).

Were it not for Kirby and Ditko working with Lee, Marvel wouldn't exist...except as maybe a typewritten scrap of script. Co-creator is the proper term for Lee in a lot of cases.

The face of Marvel he was, no doubt - and that I respect. He's a living legend. His TV show, not so much. Giant Evil Stan from the five minutes I watched on Sci-Fi was revolting.

[CaptainStacy]

Tell that to Steve Ditko.

Ditko's a mental case. :yay:

[KangConquers]

The attitude that artists are more important than writers is the reason Marvel is a mess of splash pages and little story content.

[Harlekin]

Who said anything about artists being more important than writers?

You can't have one without the other in the comics bizz, and it's a fallacy to name Lee the sole creator of a lot of these characters, especially since we know the artists contributed a lot, if not the entire look.

As for Ditko being a mental case. He's eccentric. Big difference.

[A.X.L]

They dont call him Stan 'The Man' Lee for nothing

[Bubonic]

That show is one of the most awful things ever, for all his accomplishments, and all the cool characters he has contributed, the man's definitely out of touch with whats cool.
I don't know, but do kids like that super-hero show? Its embarrassing to watch I seen parts of 2 episodes and i couldn't take it for more then 5 minutes.

I got a kick out of it. I thought it was all in good fun.

[Bubonic]

Well your nickname is Steve Rogers, so I guess your a happy go lucky type of dude, and all the power to you for it.
Personally I found it childish and awful, but I suppose that I keep forgetting that although I've grown up, their target audience hasn't.

Personally I found it childish and awful, but I suppose that I keep forgetting that although I've grown up, their target audience hasn't.It was childish and awful, but in a fun way. I'm not saying it should be up for an Emmy any time soon, but I chuckled a few times watching it.

Well, maybe one day we'll all be as cool as YOU. :whatever:

[Steve Rogers]

Not me. I am happy with how cool I am now :up:

[Bubonic]

Well, maybe one day we'll all be as cool as YOU. :whatever:

Geez, gimme a break will ya?
I didn't say my taste were superior, I just pointed out they were different. And although I have a vague sense of what is cool, the show certainly rubs me as the opposite of.

[Steve Rogers]

Nope. This place is ruthless. I learned my lesson already.
