The Daily Rant

I think it's important to note that this page may be updated far more than once a day, or far less. In any case, this is the forum for the good men and women of alltooflat to easily and quickly post whatever they think might be interesting to onlookers.

To a certain extent I hope you enjoy it, but to be perfectly honest it's not the foremost thing on my mind.

Apparently unsatisfied with merely basing stories on forged documents, 60 Minutes II?s piece last night on Stan Lee?s lawsuit against Marvel basically forged history itself, in that it repeatedly called Stan ?the creator? of Spider-Man, the Hulk, the X-Men et al, with no mention whatsoever of either Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko, the artists who co-created the characters and many of the stories they starred in. Comics punditry is, rightfully, up in arms:



Mark Evanier



Heidi MacDonald



Tom Spurgeon



The best quote on the matter comes from Evanier, Kirby?s one-time assistant:



?Can you imagine a newsman going out to do a story on Paul McCartney who didn't know of John Lennon??
