* this fluffy profile of Stan Lee frightened me at first because it came up as a notable story and I thought there might be a reason for that beyond Stan's new cartoon biography; the same profile depressed me a bit after I read it. I'm a big fan of Lee's accomplishments and strongly believe they don't have to be finessed into something different than what they are. It looks like with this latest book and press coverage and the way Lee is sometimes presented by fans and business partners that some of the more inclusive, more rigorous strategies are being set aside. What's unfortunate about that is that even if you assume the loveliest intentions step-arounds and slip-throughs are a part of Lee's historical legacy as well.
