My claim to
fame:
These
pictures are of my first cousin Patti Hunter Bagley, and her husband Mark
Bagley rubbing elbows with Stan Lee.
Mark, my cousin-in-law, is one
of the key SPIDERMAN artists.
Stan Lee is
head, or was head of Marvel Comics. If
you have seen any Marvel Super Hero movies you have seen Stan. He makes a cameo in them all.
I have known
of Stan Lee a long time. When he first
became an associate editor with Marvel Comics his uncle was the CEO.
In the late
1940s my hero Harvey Kurtzman was a struggling young freelance comicbook
artist. Stan gave him some jobs as
putting "fillers" in the comics he managed. The name of Kurtzman's fillers were "HEY
LOOK!"
Harvey
Kurtzman went on to create MAD Comicbook.
Years ago I
saw Stan Lee do an interview with Harvey Kurtzman and MAD and UGA artist Jack
Davis and he appeared to be hyper.
Stan Lee
will turn 96 on his next birthday in December 2018 and he is spry and active. Being hyper must help longevity.
