The shocking truth about Lee and Kirby
Exactly what went on in the conferences where Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created so many of the Marvel Comics of the 1960s? Historians have fruitlessly wondered, but now we have the truth as presented by one of the creators. This document first appeared in FANTASTIC FOUR SPECIAL# 5 from 1967, which not only gave you a 30-page story about the Fantastic Four (guest-starring the Inhumans AND the Black Panther), but a 12-page back-up story starring the Silver Surfer, plus a dozen pin-up pages. You got your quarter's worth.

Stan looks like someone did an "If They Mated" of Namor and the Impossible Man.

(Too bad the Kevin Maguire drawn/Lee written story about how Stan got the Avengers together disappeared with the old site.)

I've read this before, but it never gets old. I love it when big-time comics people lampoon their image this way. (And given the sheer amount of characters that the two of them created, a hero whose liver lights up in the presence of danger is not all that farfetched - if they'd kept going in the way they did for a few years longer, I'm guessing they'd end up resorting to ideas like that on a semi-regular basis.)

I love that their cigars spontaneously mate and create works.
