In The Nation, journalist Jeet Heer has written an article about Stan Lee taking credit for other folks' ideas at Marvel Comics. I tend not to get involved in these discussions because what I have to say about this can't be sufficiently communicated through a brief article or blog post. I get into it a lot in the book I'm writing about Jack Kirby at the moment which will be published one of these days but I also can't say when. For now, I'll just say I have a slightly different take on the situation than Mr. Heer…but only slightly.
