In fact, I was too dumb to save any of the old comic books or the old artwork. I used to give them away.
Stan Lee
Image
I enjoy the fact that we have these mobile comics now, which are sort of a cross between a comic book and an animated cartoon.
Stan Lee
Image
The main thing I want to do, is to make our website the most entertaining website there is on the Internet. I want it to be the premiere site for entertainment, for communication, and for fun.
Stan Lee
Image
I enjoyed reading Batman, and Superman, and all the super ones, but I never wished I created them. I've got to let there be some work for other people!
Stan Lee
Image
It's amazing what these superhero movies have become.
Stan Lee
Image
The movies have made the comic books much more valuable and more respected.
Stan Lee
Image
It's a tremendous challenge, because there have been so many characters created over the years. Every time you think you come up with a great name, you find out somebody has already done it. Dreaming up the stories isn't that hard, but coming up with a good title is the toughest part.

The comics of course, help the movies, because all of the comic fans want to see the movies. And the most amazing thing about it is these movies seem to appeal to young people, to old people, and to people all over the world. They're as popular in China and Latin America as they are here. That's really amazing and gratifying.

The comic book industry has turned into the wellspring for all of these movies that are all based on the comic books.

When I was a kid, I loved reading Sherlock Holmes. Now, you don't think of him as a superhero, but he was so damn much smarter than anybody else.
Stan Lee
Image
Everybody learns differently and everybody gets to a certain point from a different direction.
Stan Lee
Image
I like Spider-Man because he's become the most famous. He's the one who's most like me - nothing ever turns out 100 percent OK he's got a lot of problems, and he does things wrong, and I can relate to that.
Stan Lee

Life is never completely without its challenges.
Stan Lee
Image
In a sense, the artwork is the most important thing in getting somebody to buy a book. The person probably won't buy a book if he doesn't like the artwork. Once you buy it for the artwork, you hope that the story will also be good.
Stan Lee
Image
I do know that people enjoy reading a comic book and saving it and collecting the comics. And sharing them and trading them with friends. That may be something you can't do as easily with digital comics.
Stan Lee
Image
If you're writing about a character, if he's a powerful character, unless you give him vulnerability I don't think he'll be as interesting to the reader.
Stan Lee
Image
To me everything is fun. I've started Twittering or tweeting recently and that's been fun.
Stan Lee
Image
People like stories that are bigger than life, about characters with unusual powers. And when you get all the characters in the zodiac, it's so colorful, and it's so rich in different attitudes that the characters have.
Stan Lee
Image
I guess one person can make a difference.
Stan Lee
Image
I wanted them to be diverse. The whole underlying principle of the X-Men was to try to be an anti-bigotry story to show there's good in every person.
