I saw a panel with Stan Lee and Todd McFarlane at ECCC last year and it was honestly my biggest highlight of all the ECCC I have ever attended (about 6 years and running). Lee might be a showman but he is a pro at it, witty and entertaining and fun. It was actually the second time I've seen a panel with Lee but just watching him banter with Todd was a lot of fun.

That sounds excellent, I saw him yeeeeeeaaaars ago on a Spider-man panel and except for him pushing Roger Stern's buttons he was pretty hilarious.

I went to a small breakfast panel at Awesome-Con earlier this year that was just Stan and about 100 total guests and included a photo op at the end. It was definitely the highlight of that weekend (and very possibly this entire lovely year) for me.

Stan's cool and all but without Ditko and Kirby, Praise Unto His Name, he'd have retired 30 years ago as a bald editor Still, happy birthday.

Stan Lee is a carny motherfucker, and a carny motherfucker is exactly what the industry needed to become what it is today. Live forever, you crazy showman.

I remember hearing that ages ago Stan Lee had a rule at Marvel that every issue had to be able to be read as if it was the first comic the reader had ever read. I desperately want to see the timeline where that rule was still followed today.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was a shooter thing, which is why so many comics from the Shooter era have characters recapping their stupid goddamn powers in the first few pages of an issue.

If I ever wrote for a DC parody special, Hal Jordan's bio box would engulf the whole story and he'd be popping in the edges to fight it off like Daffy Duck in the credits of Gremlins 2.

This is incredible but totally believable. There's a type of artist who thinks their work has tangible value and thinks it can be used as currency. I recall a story on a guy who would sketch on $1 bills, coloring them and making them look kind of neat. But he'd try to pay checks with a single bill and would try to convince waiters that the work would be valuable when he got famous.

There's also Kerouac (or one of the other B-list beats, I can't remember) trying to pay for his meal at a diner with a poem he wrote spontaneously in the booth.

What famous artist used to draw on his checks, so the place would have to decide on taking his money or having an original art piece?

I know Picasso would sometimes pay for meals with a quick sketch, but he's one of the few artists who were famous enough in their own lifetime where the restaurant was actually making out like a bandit.

Steranko was fuckin bananas, i was just reading this passage about him quote:The young Steranko, obsessed with the danger and claustrophobia of his father’s daily routine, dedicated himself to the art of escape. By the age of sixteen, he was putting on Houdini-like public performances, showing off to local police that he could escape from their jails. He also slipped out of straitjackets, leg irons, handcuffs, safes, and vaults. If anyone had the balls to slap kane it was him
