Funny!
The only reason anyone (mostly) knows anything about him, is because he is talked about on Big Bang Theory.

Stan Lee hasn’t “created” anything of note in at least 30 decades. Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko (who’s still alive) were CO-creators (and the artists behind the works as well).

The company almost went bankrupt when Bill Clinton’s pal at Revlon bought it out in the 1990s and tried to monopolize distribution (bought the leading distributor) and flooded the market with “buy it now” trendy covers. Retailers had to accept full publishing inventory of titles in order to receive the competative discount on pricing.

The same rat bastard paid off Monica Lewinsky when she was having to lie under oath (she had a six figure salary but no skills).

Stan Lee has his own Clinton scandals associated with Hillary Clinton.

This is just a load of bunk.

Lee? Isn’t he the guy that used to write the one-page text stories in “Marvel Mystery Comics” in the days before World War 2?

Was that him or Mickey Spillane?

Yeah, I’ve never heard of him. His real name must be Stanley Lee. His parents must’ve been winners.

I’ve never seen the show. the commercials show effeminate males pretending to be intelligent. the fag vibe comes thru even in the ads (ie: if you want to be smart, be an effeminate male). zero interest

Not that similar, although his Rush mailed newsletter in the 1990s was comic book like.

I always check to see if they served in the military so I can add them to my list of Celebrities In Uniform. Here’s the details about Lee:

Lee entered the United States Army in early 1942 and served stateside in the Signal Corps, writing manuals, training films, and slogans, and occasionally cartooning. His military classification, he says, was “playwright”; he adds that only nine men in the U.S. Army were given that title.
