Stan Lee can drop dead. Not one penny of his profits went to his co-creator Jack Kirby.

Very strong words from Frank Miller I wonder if this had anything to do with him not working with Marvel again.

I love stan lee, stan lee is great because he is stan lee, i also like stan lee because stan lee is old, stan lee also appears in films because he is stan lee, I hope stan lee stays being stan lee as stan lee is the stan lee I admire for being stan lee ;-)

Miller can write his own ticket and work for whoever he wants, Ironic.
if he wanted to work for Marvel they would jump at the chance.

a little off topic but i've been collecting comics for over 20 years and have an excellent collection. i lived and breathed comics, tried to break into the industry a couple of times and have met some pretty big creators.
when i was on the dole i would go without food for a couple of days to be able to afford them but now i dont get it. was in forbidden planet and talkin to the guys about prices and for an average marvel comic was 3-20. for a bloody comic. i make a pretty decent wage but no way can i afford them at the moment. it got to the stage i was pickin the odd book up here and there but have given up on them now as its too hard to choose what to buy and what to pass over.
i work 3 jobs at the moment and still cant afford my weekly fix so how do they expect to bring in new readers when i, a diehard comic book junkie has given up the habit.

sorry i'll get off my soap box :cry:

I agree, I picked up the Batman / Doc Savage one shot the other day and nearly had a heart attack when the woman at the till said it was £3.60. I'll stick to buying graphic novels and collections rather than single issues.
