Stan Lee's Mutants, Monsters & Marvels is a 2002 American documentary film produced by Creative Light Entertainment consisting of an interview of Marvel Comics publisher Stan Lee by film director Kevin Smith.[1] The two talk about Lee's life,[2] his marriage with Joan Lee,[2] the 2002 Spider-Man film, and Spider-Man comics.[3] Lee refers to Marvel Comics character J. Jonah Jameson as "the version so many people had of me."[4] The interview was filmed in February 2002[5] in Santa Monica, California at a comic book store.[6] The result was a nearly two-hour-long film.[7] The documentary was included in a four-disc release of the 2002 Spider-Man film.[8]
