His stories are the ones which fired my young imagination and made me a Marvelite. I've never understood the devotion to Stan back then (I see it now) as it always Roy who wrote the comics I adored, just enough lore to make it flavorful and brimming with superheroes. I think he sort of lost his a way a bit at DC when he was at long last able to play with the toys of his youth, and he created some exciting and wonderful stuff there, but eventually it all became about continuity (not all his fault) and the stories felt like trivia contests. But I quibble, Roy is the greatest! <br /><br />Happy Birthday!<br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
