Never heard of him but his comments are quite twatish. Is he a twat?

Like any on air personality sometimes you are gonna love them sometime you won't. By no means was Stan an angel but everyone loves to make him out as one. I appreciate what he did but I don't think he alone deserves all the praise. I consider Stan, Jack, and Steve definitely equally important in the success of Marvel. They complimented each other which is very evident when you read any of the material that they produced on their own, which never reached the same level as when they were working together.
As for Maher... who cares what he has to say? He isn't a comic fan, big deal. I'm not a fan of what he does either. In the end he isn't providing much more than any of the other on air political opinion barkers. People get all bent up about them but really their opinions are a dime a dozen and don't contribute much to our society.

Pretty much. Don't get me wrong I appreciate everything Stan did. I just don't idolize him as much as others.
My understanding is Maher is just a hater. He entitled to his opinion but I respectfully disagree with him. More than likely though he was just trying to get attention more than anything. The are all sort of op-ed folks on all sorts of media that will do pretty much anything to get attention. Even go against known facts. Who knows maybe some comic geeks bullied him when he was little. I just ignore him like so much of the other press regarding Stan's death.
