Stan Lee; The Saga Continues

And in some more resent activities, Stan Lee had to fight for his own creative rights in the courtroom. You would think that an individual of his caliber would be taken seriously by now and treated with respect from his employers. Apparently not! In 2002 Stan Lee decided he had to file a lawsuit against the comic giant, Marvel. It appears the agreement between Lee and Marvel was that 10% of the income generated from TV and movies using Lee's characters, was to be his. Seems Marvel didn't see it that way. Typical of conglomerates, isn't it? The boys in the suits seem to want to make all the rules. Stan at one time had even been a suit. Among other positions held at Marvel, Lee had even been president of the company for a while. Trials and tribulations of Stan Lee.
