Jack Kirby’s son is not pleased with the new documentary about Stan Lee and the history of Marvel Comics:
in his later years, and Marvel has begun to credit these men in their comics and movies. But to a lot of laymen, if you ask who created Marvel or Spider-Man, odds are a lot of them would say one name: Stan Lee.. As one would expect for a film that is streaming on the service of the company that owns all of Lee’s most iconic work, it mostly tells a simple, uplifting story about the rise of Marvel.
And that did not please Neal Kirby, the son of the late Jack Kirby, who died in 1994, and who co-created the Fantastic Four, Thor, the X-Men, the Hulk, and many more great Marvel characters. In a statement posted to Twitter, Neal Kirby wrote “The challenge is extended to anyone who wishes to count the number of ‘I’s’ during the 86-minute running time of is all about what Lee did, to the detriment of what Marvel’s artists like Kirby did.
The precise authorship of Marvel Comics’ characters is complicated. While Lee was the writer on Marvel’s comics all through the 1960s, he was so busy managing an entire line of comics, that he also employed a creative method, discussed in the documentary, where he gave his artists only an outline of a story to draw. They would go off and illustrate the comics almost entirely by themselves, then return the art to Lee, who would then add his dialogue on top of what they drew.
That process — where the artists were really generating a lot of the story, but often only getting the credit for the art — would only fuel the arguments about who did what.
