The day I made Stan Lee burn money

Back in 1975, a much younger me caused a much younger Stan Lee to burn money. Well … pretend to burn money, anyway.

It was staged for a subscription ad I’d written which appeared on the inside back cover of Crazy #14. The fake flames, which today would have been Photoshopped in, were quite obviously airbrushed.

As I recall, he required no coaxing to go along with this.

Whenever I happen to remember I used to see Stan each day for years, I can’t help but think … wow.

Man, was I lucky.

Wow! What a picture!
I’ve read two long excerpts from the Marvel Comics: The Untold Story and can’t wait for a copy! This is real a great behind the scenes story. One that I never knew, cause I had been one of those who dropped out of comics for high school and college studies. Hope there’s more meat in the book. I’ll be reading in for days on end.
