A writer named Alex Pappademas authored an unusually insightful profile of Stan Lee. I have a number of mixed feelings about Stan ranging from personal affection and respect to frustration and disappointment, and will someday have to write what I'm sure will be a very long, controversial article about the various Stans I've known. For now, the piece by Mr. Pappademas captures a few of those cascading feelings. Its tagline — "On the (surprisingly complicated) legacy of Stan Lee" — is particularly on-point. Stan is a much more complex individual than most people think and it is impossible to summarize his contributions to the medium, or any of the controversies that swirl around him, in a single declarative statement.
