> Stan Lee

Your crystal ball was blurry, Esmeralda.

It's called a joke, numbnuts.

Why can I hear Stan Lee's voice when I read that page?

Because He did a very good job establishing himself as the face of the company. Even now that Quesada got " Stan Lee Presents" removed from all the new comics people still think of Stan first when they think of Marvel

Greetings True Believers!

What a conceited asshole

Why does Stan Defense Forcers never acknowledge that Stan was married to the owner's cousin?

>>88033867
Because unpaid interns, anon.

He knows what he sounds like and uses that character voice for his narration. Same reason most characters in Stan-penned books have consistent syntax and tone.

No Martin Goodman was only the Publisher, which is also the highest position Stan ever rose to himself. He never owned to place, he just ran it although it sounds like he was really hands off unless there was a problem, he focused more on trying to get toys, movies, etc

Stan was kind of ashamed of being in comics at the start. He was trying to use it to get into movies or tv or prose novels. I dunno when the stink went away for him, probably once the checks hit a certain figure

According to Will Eisner that was how just about everyone in the industry felt. It was respectable to do commercial illustration, but cartoonists would often lie about their jobs in the Golden Age

Really things didn't change until the first wave of fan talent in the early 70's came in. The writers and artists who grew up reading the stuff

Also Lee at one point tried to jump ship by getting Eisner to take his job at Marvel, but the Marvel execs turned him down because he wanted writers/artists to get royalties
