Comics are 98% crap. The most popular stuff is mediocre at best. in other words no different than other art forms. As a kid, I never liked DC or Marvel. I preferred French and Belgian comics. Not as infantile and fascistic as the American stuff. It got a bit better after the 80's when Frank Miller and Alan Moore made some inspired efforts and showed the way but the Hollywood connection dragged the whole thing back down again. I don't think most people who mourn Stan Lee today ever read a single panel from his comics production. The just know he invented some characters they've seen on screen.

How dare you!? I collect many funny books, and have strong opinions about other media adapted from them.

That's sad news. I used to watch him play on TV as a kid and I was just in awe of his skill even then.
