ALTER-EGO #161 - BETTER LATE THAN NEVER...

GALACTUS copyright MARVEL COMICS

Comics royalty ROY THOMAS arranged to have a complimentary copy of AlterEgo #161 sent to me on account of my getting a brief mention, and it's a belter of an issue, commemorating the life of 'Mr. MARVEL', STAN LEE.  It's good to see anti-Stan hater (to an obsessive degree) Michael Hill getting a good gubbing from Roy in the letters section, though Roy does it with far more grace, style, and courtesy than I'd have managed.

For all those who erroneously claim that Stan never gave JACK KIRBY the credit he deserved, there's a transcript of a radio interview where Stan praises Jack to the heavens, so Stan was never shy of acknowledging his collaborator's stellar status in the world of comics.  If you're a Stan fan, you'll want this issue, so try your local comicbook shop or order one from the TwoMorrows website, located in my bloglist in the sidebar.
