"The Case For Kirby" (not my work)

[1] 192.107.137.242 (talk) 13:42, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but this is not an acceptable source under Wikipedia guidelines. It doesn't even claim to be objective, it cites few sources, and most of those it does cite are not acceptable sources themselves. More importantly, the entire "Kirby did it all" conspiracy theory has been disproven in multiple ways by multiple people. Even the notoriously reclusive Steve Ditko, no fan of Stan Lee, broke a 20-year silence to contradict these claims. Historydude58 (talk) 07:47, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You're the ones who say "Jack Kirby did it all" as a form of hyperbolic rejection. Stan Lee did a lot, much of which his critics, myself included, think was bad. --69.142.88.64 (talk) 14:31, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Convention Appearances

In the “later life and death” section it mentions that he retired from convention appearances in 2017, however he was at New Orleans Wizard World Comic Con signing autographs and doing photo ops in January of 2018. Mzimmerle (talk) 15:43, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A Trick of Light

I noticed there is no mention of A Trick of Light, one of the last things Lee worked on before he died. Here’s an article in Wired about it:[2]. Thriley (talk) 18:44, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Writer" should be his last credential

and it would be more appropriate to call him a "punch-up writer" at best. --69.142.88.64 (talk) 14:33, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
