  1. All these are wonderful and a fitting tribute to the one and only Kirby. It makes ma gag to see all the accolades Stan Lee is still getting. I wish he would grow a pair and admit that without Kirby there would never have been the Marvel universe.

  2. Yeah, but I always qualify the concept with a story I heard from a third party (some bullpenner who I forget) who shared a cab one night with Jack and Stan. He said how amazed he was at the non-stop back and forth story ideas between the two. That, and as a munchin I was first drawn in by all the snappy Marvel patter in the letters pages, announcements, etc., and my understanding was that was Stan

  3. Yeah all true but 1. Most all characters were co-created at least and 2. What did Lee write after 1970 ie characters created etc that are memorable? After 1970 Kirby created the Fourth World by himself. Darseid is the villain in the upcoming JLA movie. OK and I am 100% prejudiced for Jack, even though I was a MMMS member, Stan;s idea.
