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.]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2018 13:28:54 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12767 Message from imatonkatoo

Didn't Neal Adams have a big part to play too? I'm sure I watched somewhere thatch he fought to get artists much higher pay. They were dis-regarded back in the day.]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2018 12:21:58 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12767 Message from Oxbladder imatonkatoo wrote:
I believe it was mainly his vision of comic books that got it all going again.


Well, no it didn't as comics came back into vogue in the mid/late 50's. However, Stan, Jack, and Steve all helped change how comics were done and made them even more popular. However, Stan alone is given too much credit. That's not to say he wasn't important or a nice guy but that people have given too much credit to him and not enough to the others that were there at the time. Kirby, Ditko and other all had key roles to play and if they hadn't been there who knows what would have happened. When Stan, Jack or Steve did work on their own it was never as good as when Stan and Jack or Stan and Steve worked together. I really can't think of Stan being THE MAN when it became clear the the artists had valuable input beyond just putting Stan's script to pictures.]]> Wed, 21 Nov 2018 17:43:59 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12767 Message from imatonkatoo Wed, 21 Nov 2018 14:35:09 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12767 Message from Oxbladder
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.]]> Tue, 20 Nov 2018 08:52:38 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12767 Message from quinnspuddinjoker Sun, 18 Nov 2018 11:14:38 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=12767 Message from imatonkatoo
