Oh, man. Over the weekend, on 4chan's /co/ board, someone trying to start something posted a youtube link of the a local cable access show hosted by Stan Lee called "The Comic Book Greats," or somesuch. The episode featured a half hour of Rob Liefeld and Todd McFarlane "designing" a character based solely on a name provided by Lee: Overkill.

I'm sure you can imagine how it went from there. The responders pointed out how retroactively hilarious every line uttered was. Lee ribbing these "Comic Book Greats" and being claiming he'll take all the credit. Anyway, in a half hour, these two "Comic Book Greats" draw the visual equivalent of brain vomit.

Then someone in the thread posts the first video of the second third of a "Comic Book Greats" with Will Eisner, and I watched the whole thing. In 30 minutes, he proceeds to sketch 11 figures with more life and style than anything Todd and Rob could ever imagine, and in the last *9* minutes, Lee asks him to draw something finished. I cheered, personally. He draws a headshot of the Spirit. It is beautiful.

Oh, and the whole time Eisner's drawing the last 6 figures and the final drawing, he and Lee are arguing story-telling philosophies!
