We may think Stan Lee’s jokey captions etc are fine, but many artists he worked Marvel-Method style with didn’t. Ditko especially. He talked often how his compositions were ruined by Lee and others, who would slap sound effects anywhere they wanted . . .

Years ago I read some comics by Robert Sergel that I really liked. I found out he has a book “Satan’s Kingdom” due this Halloween. https://t.co/EPlkJg8U8v

@mangaberg Fix: “Art and script” credits. Marvel colorists weren’t credited until after letterers were. I would not say Lee started it because of earlier credits. Maybe he started the Credit Box on the splash page thing. He certainly started the ’Stan Lee is always the first name’ thing…

This is pre Fantastic Four #1, which has Stan Lee and Jack Kirby signature, but no task breakdown and no Credit Box. Lee perhaps did more with credits and the ‘tasks/name in a box on the title page’, but he didn’t start the notion of giving creators credit.
