Stan Lee Truncates Appearance Schedule Post-Arthur Lieberman Passing
I hope that news of Stan Lee cutting short his appearances schedule due to the passing of his friend and recent-years business ally Arthur Lieberman provides for whatever time Lee feels he needs to get through what must be a difficult period. My impression -- and granted that I'm sure someone out there has a completely different view either directly oppositional or sharply tangential -- is that Lieberman was a really good friend to Lee, and certainly a valuable resource in moving him past the difficulties of the 1990s into this extended pop culture victory lap Lee's been on for a while now. The late attorney was certainly an old school charmer and came across as whip smart without having to press the point whenever he spoke to the press about Lee or about any business enterprise of Lee's. All condolence to his friends and family.
