No need to be so surprised at me being genuinely handsome - that's why I'm called 'Handsome Gordie'. (Well, I am in MY house - even if it is only by me.) Yes, I was cherubic as a boy - with blond hair too. It's not that colour now, but at least I still have hair - full and luxuriant to match my handsome fizzog. Why, I'm so handsome that I think only my modesty and humility surpass my mighty handsomeness.

Apparently the Hindu religion has over 300 million gods (!!) so Stan must be one of those :D <br /><br />By the way, Kid, you look genuinely handsome in that photo alongside Stan The Man.

And I notice that your big-beard avatar photo has been replaced by a sweet blond cherub (albeit one who looks rather serious).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-62425402889723820972018-08-24T14:19:38.108+01:002018-08-24T14:19:38.108+01:00'A' god, maybe.

Ditko, Kirby and Lee, together in the 1960s produce some of the best comics I have ever read. And I still read them. Sometimes people, and this includes me, get involved in the periphery of things and don’t discuss the actual comics cow. They were drawn well, they read well and their stories were priceless.

Stan was involved in creating the finished product (at the very least - and in some cases initiating the start of the product), so in that sense he was a very good creator indeed. He certainly created the mood, the madness, and the magic that was early Marvel in my view.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-59828321008684903892018-08-23T22:55:27.329+01:002018-08-23T22:55:27.329+01:00Stan was not a very good creator.
