Stan’s Here! ComicMix Talks With Stan Lee About His New Project for BOOM!
BOOM! finally made their teased-out Stan Lee announcement yesterday morning. And despite calls from 1000+ reporters, my 87-years-young friend stopped by to answer a few questions. Briefly.
Cliff: Were the characters and back stories for the new POW-BOOM joint venture actually created by you?
Stan: Yep!
Cliff: Do you still think it’s important for a hero’s alter ego to have an Achilles heel?
Stan: Yep… Usually.
Cliff: At what stage are you at with the projects that you’re doing with Walt Disney Studios?
Stan: All different stages. Script. Development. Production.
Cliff: When I was with IDT Entertainment, you shared a letter with us that you received from Paul McCartney pitching you a character. How often do you get pitches from fellow celebs?
Stan: Occassionally. An average of three or four a year.
Cliff: Now that you’re hitting middle age, do you have any intention of slowing down?
Stan: Not if I can help it! Excelsior!

You can't help but love Stan. I hope I'm that chipper at 87.
Stan is easy to love. He's been nothing but generous in the three decades that I've personally known him. I purposely didn't push for a long interview here; the announcement is fairly small and his time is in great demand. But it's always nice to see him or hear from him on anything at all.
I'm not that chipper, and I'm only 52. Dunno how he does it. BTW, hope you caught him on Big Bang Theory Monday night. He kicked ass…
I certainly did! Even Hef never look cooler in a bathrobe than Stan the Man did on Monday Night! "Me want FF robe like Stan wore or Hulk SMASH!!"
