Stan Lee was recently named the 26th most influential American by Atlantic Monthly, but if it was up to me I would have put him quite a bit higher. Lee is, of course, best known as the co-creator of Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four and dozens more, though controversy has always swirled around how big his real contributions might have been. But first and foremost Lee has always been the consummate salesman, whether it was selling the latest weird Spider-Man villain to the readers or hosting the television...
Glad to see this interview up here! Stan Lee has had a hand in creating some of the most timeless characters and stories of the new age. Love, hate, intolerance, self-discovery, bigotry, just a few of the human apsects he touches upon in those stories. I'm a huge fan of X-men and Spiderman (among others) and frankly, I think they'll be around well after he passes away. It will also open the doors for those who grow up on these kind of stories to try their hand at it, keeping us thoroughly entertained for years to come. STAN IS THE MAN!
