Roy Thomas, Former Marvel Editor, Pushes Back on New Stan Lee Biography
Via hollywoodreporter.com
The onetime Stan Lee protégé dissects 'True Believer,' which he argues undercuts Lee's recollections in favor of artist Jack Kirby's version of events.
Roy Thomas was hired by Stan Lee in 1965 and succeeded him as Marvel editor-in-chief in 1972 when Lee became the publisher. Here, he examines True Believer, the new biography tackling the comic book legend's life and legacy.
Something like 95 percent of the time, Abraham Riesman's True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee is a very good biography. However, the remaining (and crucial) 5 percent of its content, scattered amid all that painstaking research and well-written prose, renders it often untrustworthy… i.e., a very bad biography. Because the author often insists, visibly and intrusively, on putting his verbal thumb on the scales, in a dispute he seems ill-equipped to judge.
New Stan Lee Bio ‘True Believer’ Shatters The Myths Surrounding The Marvel Icon
Via Forbes.com
When Stan Lee died in November, 2018 at age 95, he seemed to go out on top. The avuncular spokesman for Marvel Comics was celebrated around the world for his creative achievements that helped birth multi-billion dollar superhero franchises that dominate the media landscape. Even into his mid-90s, Lee radiated charm and good humor when he appeared at comic conventions to packed rooms of fans cheering his immortal catch-phrases like “Excelsior!” and “Face Front, True Believers.” While troubling reports of abuse and decline began surfacing in his final year, following the death of his wife of 70 years, Joan, in 2017, Lee’s reputation and fortune seemed secure, and his story of scrappy persistence, mid-career creative renaissance, and long twilight basking in the fruits of his labor became the stuff of legend.
The problem is, Stan Lee’s jaunty public persona and beloved cameo appearances in Marvel movies concealed a rat’s nest of troubles under the surface. Since departing Marvel for Hollywood in the 1980s, Lee involved himself in one failed or disappointing venture after another, with a veritable rogues gallery of villainous business partners. More significantly, his creative legacy came under increasing scrutiny. How much, if anything, did Lee, who served as Marvel’s editor and was credited as writer, contribute to the characters and stories that cemented Marvel superheroes in the public imagination? Within some quarters of the comics community, Lee’s outsized share of the credit constituted an act of theft from his collaborators, notably Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Both men died without receiving even a fraction of Lee’s public acclaim, much less the financial rewards their work brought to Marvel and later Disney.
Journalist Abraham Riesman first investigated this question in a profile story in Vulture in 2016, when Lee was still alive, active, and popular as ever despite the rot that was starting to appear at the edges of his empire. The warts-and-all profile was both alarming and prophetic of Lee’s sad final 18 months. That story eventually led to True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee, Riesman’s book-length biography due out from PenguinRandomHouse on February 16.
True Believer is part for-the-record biography and part an effort to balance the scales between Lee’s public reputation and the more complicated truth underneath. The book delivers a wealth of details on Lee’s later life, unearths a few stories that blemish his reputation, and generally paints Lee as a restless and unsatisfied man whose own definition of success always lay just beyond his reach.
True Believer may not be the book that Stan Lee’s fans want, but it’s a book that anyone concerned with the hard truths of human nature and the business of popular culture over the last 80 years needs.
True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee, by Abraham Riesman, comes out February 16, 2021, from PenguinRandomHouse.

Roy Thomas
Roy William Thomas, Jr. (born November 22, 1940) is an American comic book writer and editor, who was Stan Lee's first successor as editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics. He is possibly best known for introducing the pulp magazine hero Conan the Barbarian to American comics, with a series that added to the storyline of Robert E. Howard's character and helped launch a sword and sorcery trend in comics. Thomas is also known for his championing of Golden Age comic-book heroes – particularly the 1940s superhero team the Justice Society of America – and for lengthy writing stints on Marvel's X-Men and Avengers, and DC Comics' All-Star Squadron, among other titles.
Thomas was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2011.
Early life
Thomas was born in Jackson, Missouri, United States. As a child, he was a devoted comic book fan, and in grade school he wrote and drew his own comics for distribution to friends and family. The first of these was All-Giant Comics, which he recalls as having featured such characters as Elephant Giant. He graduated from Southeast Missouri State University in 1961 with a BS in Education, having majored in history and social science.

Roy Thomas (artist)
Anishinaabe painter Roy Thomas was one of the most influential aboriginal artists in Canada, and was famous for paintings of colourful totemic animals. Like Norval Morrisseau, he became well known when aboriginal art gained mainstream popularity in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He grew up in the Longlac reservation in northern Ontario, and like other Native youth of his generation was forced to attend a religious residential school. His distinctive style can be seen in the art of younger aboriginal artists, many of whom he had mentored. He died of cancer in 2004.

Roy Thomas (outfielder)
Roy Allen Thomas (March 24, 1874 – November 20, 1959) was a center fielder in Major League Baseball. From 1899 through 1911, he played for the Philadelphia Phillies (1899–1908, 1910–1911), Pittsburgh Pirates (1908) and Boston Doves (1909). Thomas batted and threw left-handed. He was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. Thomas was the brother of fellow Major Leaguer, Bill Thomas.
According to baseball analyst Bill James, Thomas is the only major league regular to have scored three times as many runs as he drove in. In 1470 games played, Thomas compiled 1011 runs scored and 299 runs batted in, as he posted a .290 batting average with a .412 on-base average and 244 stolen bases.
During his 13-season career, Thomas was one of the most productive table-setters in the National League. His relentless patience at the plate infuriated opposing pitchers and prompted the NL to change its rule regarding foul balls in 1901. The new rule also was adopted by the American League two years later. He is, in fact, reported by James to hold the unofficial consecutive foul-ball record – 22, in one plate appearance.

Roy Thomas (pitcher)
Roy Justin Thomas (born June 22, 1953) is a retired Major League Baseball pitcher. He held the distinction of having compiled the most wins without a loss ever on a team with a losing record when he went 7-0 for the 74-88 Seattle Mariners in 1985. He has now moved to Oregon with his wife, as she is now working at Intel.
Philadelphia Phillies
Thomas grew up in Lompoc, California, and was the star pitcher of the Lompoc Nationals Little League team that went to the SoCal finals at El Monte in 1965. He was selected sixth overall in the 1971 Major League Baseball Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies straight out of Lompoc High School at eighteen years old.
After a brief stint with the Northwest League's Walla Walla Phillies in 1971 (in which he gave up fourteen earned runs in twelve innings pitched), Thomas went 11-7 with a 3.43 earned run average in 24 starts in his first full minor league season (1972) with the Western Carolinas League's Spartanburg Phillies. He went 17-8 with a stellar 2.14 ERA and 207 strikeouts with the Rocky Mount Phillies and Reading Phillies in 1973 to earn an invitation to Spring training the following season, but failed to earn a spot in the Phillies' rotation.

Roy Thomas, Former Marvel Editor, Pushes Back on New Stan Lee Biography

The onetime Stan Lee protégé dissects 'True Believer,' which he argues undercuts Lee's recollections in favor of artist Jack Kirby's version of events.
Roy Thomas was hired by Stan Lee in 1965 and succeeded him as Marvel editor-in-chief in 1972 when Lee became the publisher. Here, he examines True Believer, the new biography tackling the comic book legend's life and legacy.

When Stan Lee died in November, 2018 at age 95, he seemed to go out on top. The avuncular spokesman for Marvel Comics was celebrated around the world for his creative achievements that helped birth multi-billion dollar superhero franchises that dominate the media landscape. Even into his mid-90s, Lee radiated charm and good humor when he appeared at comic conventions to packed rooms of fans cheering his immortal catch-phrases like “Excelsior!” and “Face Front, True Believers.” While troubling reports of abuse and decline began surfacing in his final year, following the death of his wife of 70 years, Joan, in 2017, Lee’s reputation and fortune seemed secure, and his story of scrappy persistence, mid-career creative renaissance, and long twilight basking in the fruits of his labor became the stuff of legend.

Roy Thomas, Former Marvel Editor, Pushes Back on New Stan Lee Biography
Via hollywoodreporter.com
The onetime Stan Lee protégé dissects 'True Believer,' which he argues undercuts Lee's recollections in favor of artist Jack Kirby's version of events.
Roy Thomas was hired by Stan Lee in 1965 and succeeded him as Marvel editor-in-chief in 1972 when Lee became the publisher. Here, he examines True Believer, the new biography tackling the comic book legend's life and legacy.
Something like 95 percent of the time, Abraham Riesman's True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee is a very good biography. However, the remaining (and crucial) 5 percent of its content, scattered amid all that painstaking research and well-written prose, renders it often untrustworthy… i.e., a very bad biography. Because the author often insists, visibly and intrusively, on putting his verbal thumb on the scales, in a dispute he seems ill-equipped to judge.
New Stan Lee Bio ‘True Believer’ Shatters The Myths Surrounding The Marvel Icon
Via Forbes.com
When Stan Lee died in November, 2018 at age 95, he seemed to go out on top. The avuncular spokesman for Marvel Comics was celebrated around the world for his creative achievements that helped birth multi-billion dollar superhero franchises that dominate the media landscape. Even into his mid-90s, Lee radiated charm and good humor when he appeared at comic conventions to packed rooms of fans cheering his immortal catch-phrases like “Excelsior!” and “Face Front, True Believers.” While troubling reports of abuse and decline began surfacing in his final year, following the death of his wife of 70 years, Joan, in 2017, Lee’s reputation and fortune seemed secure, and his story of scrappy persistence, mid-career creative renaissance, and long twilight basking in the fruits of his labor became the stuff of legend.
The problem is, Stan Lee’s jaunty public persona and beloved cameo appearances in Marvel movies concealed a rat’s nest of troubles under the surface. Since departing Marvel for Hollywood in the 1980s, Lee involved himself in one failed or disappointing venture after another, with a veritable rogues gallery of villainous business partners. More significantly, his creative legacy came under increasing scrutiny. How much, if anything, did Lee, who served as Marvel’s editor and was credited as writer, contribute to the characters and stories that cemented Marvel superheroes in the public imagination? Within some quarters of the comics community, Lee’s outsized share of the credit constituted an act of theft from his collaborators, notably Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko. Both men died without receiving even a fraction of Lee’s public acclaim, much less the financial rewards their work brought to Marvel and later Disney.
Journalist Abraham Riesman first investigated this question in a profile story in Vulture in 2016, when Lee was still alive, active, and popular as ever despite the rot that was starting to appear at the edges of his empire. The warts-and-all profile was both alarming and prophetic of Lee’s sad final 18 months. That story eventually led to True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee, Riesman’s book-length biography due out from PenguinRandomHouse on February 16.
True Believer is part for-the-record biography and part an effort to balance the scales between Lee’s public reputation and the more complicated truth underneath. The book delivers a wealth of details on Lee’s later life, unearths a few stories that blemish his reputation, and generally paints Lee as a restless and unsatisfied man whose own definition of success always lay just beyond his reach.
True Believer may not be the book that Stan Lee’s fans want, but it’s a book that anyone concerned with the hard truths of human nature and the business of popular culture over the last 80 years needs.
True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee, by Abraham Riesman, comes out February 16, 2021, from PenguinRandomHouse.

Roy William Thomas Jr. (born November 22, 1940) is an American comic book writer and editor, who was Stan Lee's first successor as editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics. He is possibly best known for introducing the pulp magazine hero Conan the Barbarian to American comics, with a series that added to the storyline of Robert E.

Thomas is also known for his championing of Golden Age comic-book heroes – particularly the 1940s superhero team the Justice Society of America – and for lengthy writing stints on Marvel's X-Men and The Avengers, and DC Comics' All-Star Squadron, among other titles.
Among the comics characters he co-created are Wolverine, Vision, Doc Samson, Carol Danvers, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Ultron, Yellowjacket, Defenders, Man-Thing, Red Sonja, Adam Warlock, Morbius, Ghost Rider, Squadron Supreme, Invaders, Black Knight (Dane Whitman), Nighthawk, Havok, Banshee, Sunfire, Thundra, Arkon, Killraven, Wendell Vaughn, Red Wolf, Red Guardian, Daimon Hellstrom, Brother Voodoo and Valkyrie.
Thomas was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2011.

Alex Grand and Jim Thompson join former Marvel writer and second Editor-In-Chief of the Marvel Age after Stan Lee about his origins circa 1965-1974. Roy discusses how he left his job as a history teacher to move to New York working at DC Comics with Mort Weisinger, leaving DC for Marvel's Stan Lee, applying his English degree to the Marvel Method, meeting Jack Kirby & Steve Ditko, bringing the pulps like Conan to comics, his political leanings from early 1970s Tom Wolfe to Rolling Stone Magazine, the Rutland Parade and the first cosplay parties at Tom Fagan's house, and his nude scenes in both National Lampoon magazine and Crazy in the context of the post sexual revolution.

Roy Thomas
Roy William Thomas, Jr. (born November 22, 1940) is an American comic book writer and editor, who was Stan Lee's first successor as editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics. He is possibly best known for introducing the pulp magazine hero Conan the Barbarian to American comics, with a series that added to the storyline of Robert E.

Thomas is also known for his championing of Golden Age comic-book heroes – particularly the 1940s superhero team the Justice Society of America – and for lengthy writing stints on Marvel's X-Men and Avengers, and DC Comics' All-Star Squadron, among other titles.
Thomas was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2011.
Early life
Thomas was born in Jackson, Missouri, United States. As a child, he was a devoted comic book fan, and in grade school he wrote and drew his own comics for distribution to friends and family. The first of these was All-Giant Comics, which he recalls as having featured such characters as Elephant Giant. He graduated from Southeast Missouri State University in 1961 with a BS in Education, having majored in history and social science.
