I've downloaded all but a handful of the Atlas pre-codes from a site called More than Heroes that excels in Marvel pre-1961 material. I wish I had the dough to spend on originals but that site makes this blog possible.<br /><br />andy-<br />I have no number but it's, unquestionably in the high hundreds. There are lots of stories with Stan's name on them (he loved credit, didn't he?) and no credit for artist but I have to believe that a few of the stories slipped through without Stan's name.Peter Enfantinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317575598411394944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-43790472944104122682020-02-06T10:52:43.734-08:002020-02-06T10:52:43.734-08:00I never realized that Stan Lee wrote so many short...I never realized that Stan Lee wrote so many short-stories in the 50s. Is there a number? <br /><br />Never read much of the stuff, some of the silly monster stories reprinted in later Marvel comics as filler killed any interest. Later I guess the EC story overshadowed this chapter of American horror comics; pre-code horror never accounted to much more as a footnote. Also the limited avaiability of the material in the 80s and 90s prohibited sampling. To be honest, it never seemed that interesting or even readable, and I doubt that I would had spend money for that.<br /><br />Still it comes as a bit of surprise that Lee produced that much material. I guess he was so successful in spinning the Marvel story that all this effort was forgotten.andydeckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01312309519462680892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-69470636549898506972020-02-06T10:42:15.779-08:002020-02-06T10:42:15.779-08:00I just found Menace # 1 on "Read Comics Onlin...I just found Menace # 1 on "Read Comics Online." It's strange that "One Head Too Many" pictures the Martians as sensible when it comes to not having a war, and arrogant at the same time. I mean that panel with the line "Never question a Martian order!"Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09603892208775996594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6672923492889685727.post-65289212073957623992020-02-06T06:28:14.134-08:002020-02-06T06:28:14.134-08:00Regarding "Red as a Lobster"-- the Marve...Regarding "Red as a Lobster"-- the Marvel guys must have decided that 3 years having elapsed since the Tales from the Crypt story "Half-Baked" (TftC #40, March 1950) they could safely do their own knockoff version...Nequamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829037166873574240noreply@blogger.com
