Lee was one of those who held that fundraiser for HRC that's the center of a fundraising controversy.
Sigh...we'd all be freakin' rich if only our Moms hadn't tossed them out!
When I was a young teen - that is when my brother and I got into comix - I would buy and collect comics. The local newstand sold the comics. We knew which day of the week each comic would come out. My brother and I had a system where each one of us bought certain comics. This was back in the late 60's, early 70's. DC back then - to me - sucked! Even as a 12 year old, I looked at someone like Superman - possibly the most powerful comic creation ever - and he is fighting the Toyman, Prankster, and Luthor. And they're giving him a hard time! At Marvel though - the Fantastic Four are going up against Skrulls and Galactus! Thor is battling other Norse Gods! The XMen are battling the Juggernaut - someone who cannot be stopped - and robots specifically designed to destory them - Sentinals! It was power against power! Starting in the late 70's, DC started its move by slowly revamping Batman. Then Bryne revamped Superman in the 80's and Frank Miller revamped Batman into the Dark Knight. Now, Batman - who I detested back in the 60's and never bought - is one of the most coolest and dangerous superheros out there.
