By the third issue he is already calling it the “GREATEST COMIC MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD!” In fact, the blurb on the cover about their hidden hide-out has THREE exclamation marks!!!! (I just added a fourth one in there just to top him!)Įnough about Stan Lee though, Let’s look at the new additions one-by-one. Stan “The Man” has always been the ULTIMATE PR Guy!
