Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesI don't think you ever outgrow your love for things that are bigger than life and more colorful than the average life. And somehow I feel that these comic book stories are like fairy tales for older people, because they have the same qualities.
Chadwick Boseman
— American actorI wasn't a comic book geek as a kid. I read some, but it was just like, "Oh, I have this comic book here." It wasn't like I was collecting them.
Eli Roth
— American film director, producer, and actorLook at comic books. It used to be something that only geeks were into. And now it's everywhere.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesComic books to me are fairy tales for grown-ups.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesI'm no prophet, but I'm guessing that comic books will always be strong. I don't think anything can really beat the pure fun and pleasure of holding a magazine in your hand, reading the story on paper, being able to roll it up and put it in your pocket, reread again later, show it to a friend, carry it with you, toss it on a shelf, collect them, have a lot of magazines lined up and read them again as a series. I think young people have always loved that. I think they always will.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesI think any comic book - or really, any book that you can read - in a sense is an educational tool in that it helps literacy. The more you read, the better you get at it. It almost doesn't matter what you read, the important thing is for young people to become readers.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesAll I thought about when I wrote my stories was, "I hope that these comic books would sell so I can keep my job and continue to pay the rent." Never in a million years could I have imagined that it would turn into what it has evolved into nowadays. Never.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesComic books themselves are getting more literate. And there are people who are screenwriters and television writers and novelists who are writing for the comics, for some reason, they love doing it and some of the art work in the comics, I mean it rivals anything you'll see hanging on the walls of museums, they're illustrations more than drawings and all the people are discovering this and they're turning on to it.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesFrom 1940 to about 1960, I had been writing just regular comics, the way my publishers wanted me too. He didn't want me to use words of more than two syllables if I could help it. He didn't want me to waste time on worrying about good dialogue or characterization. Just give me a lot of action, lot of fight scenes.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesI had been writing comic books for years and I was doing them to please a publisher, who felt that comics are only read by very young children or stupid adults. And therefore, we have to keep the stories very simplistic... And those were all things I hated.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesComic books sort of follow with the move - if people see the movie and if they're interested in the character and want to see more of the character, they start buying the comic books. So a good movie helps the sale of the comic books and the comic books help the movie and one hand washes the other. So, I don't think there's any reason to think that comics will die out.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesI think people are interested in anything that's a little bigger than life and that's colorful and - you know, what they like? They like fairy tales for grownups.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesOnce, I'd written a Western story, and one of the panels was just a hand holding a six-shooter, and there was a puff of smoke coming out of the barrel, and a straight horizontal line, indicating the trajectory of the bullet. So that page was sent back to me from the Code office, saying that the particular panel was too violent. I asked them what they meant, and they told me--I swear--"The puff of smoke is too big." Well, of course. So I had the artist make the smoke a little smaller, and the youth of America was saved.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesI enjoy the fact that we have these mobile comics now, which are sort of a cross between a comic book and an animated cartoon.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesMaybe there will always be a market for the regular comic books because you can read [them] at your own pace. You can save them, collect them, [then] go back and read them again.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesJack [Kirby] and Joe [Simon] wrote and drew the stories themselves in the beginning and I was just, like, the office boy. But after a while they had more writing than they could handle and I was the only guy around, so they said, "Hey Stan, you think you can write this?" When you're seventeen years old, what do you know? I said, "Sure, I can do it!" And that was it.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesI do know that people enjoy reading a comic book and saving it and collecting the comics. And sharing them and trading them with friends. That may be something you can't do as easily with digital comics.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesComic books are just a way to show a story. Then there are the movies, and television and exhibits like this that take the stories and make them seem so realistic. In the comic book, you're just reading a story - hopefully a good, exciting story that whets your appetite for all of this stuff to come.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesI thought it would be great to do superheroes that have the same kind of life problems that any reader - that anybody could have.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesTo be honest, when I was writing these stories a million years ago, I never thought about movies at all one way or another. It would have seemed almost miraculous for these things to be movies someday. To me, they were just comic books that I hoped would sell so I could keep my job.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesYou can't kill a good comic book series.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesThere's just something that feels nice about holding a comic book!
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesNo matter how good a story is, if you're at a newsstand and you see a lot of comic books, you don't know how good the story is unless you read it. But you can spot the artwork instantly, and you know whether you like the artwork, whether it grabs you or not.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesI'm used to doing comic books, where every month there's a new comic book! I find that the movie business is not quite the same. It doesn't move quite as fast.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesIn fact, I was too dumb to save any of the old comic books or the old artwork. I used to give them away.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesThe movies have made the comic books much more valuable and more respected.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesThe comic book industry has turned into the wellspring for all of these movies that are all based on the comic books.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesThat's what everybody tells me. "I would've had a great comic-book collection, but my mother made me throw them away." But when I was growing up, my mother didn't care. As long as I was reading, she didn't care if my room was filled with comics. I could have saved everything. I was just too stupid to do it.
Stan Lee
— Comic Book Icon & Creator of Marvel HeroesIt is impossible to do a movie exactly the way a comic book is written and drawn, just as it's impossible to do a movie exactly like a novel or exactly like anything else. When you go to different forms of media, you have to adapt.
