Neal Adams, Marv Wolfman, Scott Lobdell + Nick Barrucci Talk Stan Lee

I think it's safe to say that if Stan Lee ever needs a character witness, he knows who he can call....

Neal Adams wrote,

“Folks,
 
While I have nothing to say about the lawsuit against Stan Lee and family and its validity, because I simply don’t know, I do feel compelled to say this. I have known Stan Lee for decades, and that is simply not the Stan Lee that I know.”

 
 Marv Wolfman also joined the bench,

"What Neal said. That is not even remotely the Stan I’ve known since 1972. Even when there’s been problems I have never witnessed him to be anything less than understanding, kind and totally professional, and even when we’ve disagreed I’ve never heard him use that kind of language."

 
While Scott Lobdell adds,

"I’ve been friends with Stan Lee for over 20 years now.  I’ve never known him to be anything but a perfect gentleman even during the times I disappointed him with one blown deadline or another.   I imagine things for a living but even I can’t imagine a reality in which Stan is anything other than the caring and supportive guy that I’ve always known him to be."

 
And Nick Burracci says,

"I cannot imagine what is said about Stan or Joan is true.  Simply put, I’ve known Stan for a few decades, and I’m going to oversimplify this.  I can remember one time there was a mistake that I made, and he looked at me and said “Nick, everyone makes mistakes.  Let’s be careful not to do that again.”  He smiled and patted me on the back, and we continued on."

I never believe this sort of stuff. Some random assistant with nothing to lose and everything to gain just spouts this stuff for attention.

I love Stan.. and I pray all this shit is false. I'm tired of being disappointed by my idols. I'm not going to take a side until all the facts are out though. I learned my lesson with my other now disgraced idol Bill Cosby

I have a hard time believing these accusations.

I'm gonna add this:
Even if the allegations are 100% true, I don't care. Stan's earned the right to be a cranky asshole, if the mood takes him. So he's critical of the guy, saying his work wasn't good enough. Well, Stan has standards. He used to the kind of results that Kirby and Romita and Ditko can give him.

No love lost for Stan, either way.

He is still and always will be the man.

And besides, everybody knows he's the nicest guy.

Stan Lee seems like a nice guy & let's face it,he's very wealthy.
The accuser is after money..its that simple.

I really can't see any of this being true. I obviously I don't know Stan personally, and beloved icons have been correctly accused of being much worse before, but Stan simply doesn't come off as the kind of person capable of doing anything like what's being said. He's always been a very chill guy, cool-headedness just radiates off of him.

I didn't even hear about this. I took one look at the ex assistant. Some douchebag who desperately needs his ass kicked. The dumbass is wearing a shirt with bears having sex on it. And he's suing for emotional distress? Someone should sue him for sexual harassment. Tired of all these dipshit pussies suing left and right for no reason. Can't wait until the judge dismisses the case for lack of evidence.

I've met Stan Lee once and heard him speak a dozen times, and the thing that jumps out at me with these accusations is the language. I just can't see Stan using the kind of language that this "assistant" accuses him of using. It just doesn't ring true.

I don't believe in the accusation BUT if it's in some way true I fear it could be Lee's age what made him act like that.
Let's face it, he's old and he doesn't have a good memory anymore. He went to the hospital 2 times in a week when Ant-man came out.

And these are the guys who know him! Stan Lee does seem like a pretty good guy....Bob Kane seems like a bastard.

Had the fortune to meet Stan at a Con. Nicest guy I've met from the industry.
Had the misfortune to meet Neal Adams. Biggest asshole egomaniac I've ever met. I'm 16 and a good judge of character so I know he is. I don't believe the accusations against Stan are true, but I wouldn't want Neal Adams backing me up.
