Here's a peek at "With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story" a new documentary about the Marvel Comics creator set to screen this month at the Sundance Film Festival.
Much as I like Stan, I hope the flick pays some credit to Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and other Marvel co-creators who contributed to Marvel's success as Stan without nabbing nearly as much public acclaim.
Anyone out there seen it? I hope I can eventually get a DVD.

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Fantastic Four #1 with this special squarebound edition (#58) of The Jack Kirby Collector, about the two pop-culture visionaries who created the Fantastic Four, and a decade in comics that was more tumultuous and awe-inspiring than any before or since. Calling on his years of research, plus new interviews conducted just for this book (with Stan Lee, Flo Steinberg, Mark Evanier, Joe Sinnott, and others), regular Jack Kirby Collector magazine contributor Mark Alexander traces both Lee and Kirby's history at Marvel Comics, and the remarkable series of events and career choices that led them to converge in 1961 to conceive the Fantastic Four. It also documents the evolution of the FF throughout the 1960s, with previously unknown details about Lee and Kirby's working relationship, and their eventual parting of ways in 1970. With a wealth of of historical information and amazing Kirby artwork, Stan Lee & Jack Kirby: THE WONDER YEARS beautifully examines the first decade of the FF, and the events that put into motion the 1960s era that came to be known as the Marvel Age of Comics!

Stan Lee gets star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
The Marvel Comics writer/publisher, co-creator of Spider-Man, Hulk, Thor, etc., will receive his star today, a week after his 88th birthday.
"I'm pretty proud of the fact that some of the stories I wrote so many years ago are still being read and hopefully enjoyed by the public and people are making motion pictures based on them, and television series and even a Broadway show," Lee said.
Lee pays attention to everything, he said, including last month's accident that injured an actor in the Spider-Man Broadway show. "Not a sparrow falls but that I notice," he said.
