We all know Stan Lee as the jovial carnival barker, the fan-friendly pitchman who was desperate to make every reader feel like part of the big Marvel family.
But if you got over-persnickety, Stan knew how to slip the shiv between your ribs while giving you the big Excelsior bear-hug.
Case in point, Incredible Hulk #6 (1963). Letters page. A fan who wasn't at all impressed with Hulk #4:
Yeah!! How come, Stan?
Dude...Stan Lee just called you a kook and a psychopath and ridiculous.
Sure, he smiled, and sort of complimented you...while he slipped the shiv in. The best part? The guy was probably so thrilled to get his letter printed, that he probably didn't even notice.
Lesson:
DON'T F#$% WITH STAN!!
