Stan Lee’s company POW! Entertainment on Monday posted an open letter to Bill Maher after the HBO host wrote a disparaging blog post questioning the legacy of the Marvel icon, who died Nov. 12.
“The guy who created Spider-Man and the Hulk has died, and America is in mourning. Deep, deep mourning for a man who inspired millions to, I don’t know, watch a movie, I guess,” Maher wrote on the Real Time website Saturday. “Now, I have nothing against comic books — I read them now and then when I was a kid and I was all out of Hardy Boys.
But the assumption everyone had back then, both the adults and the kids, was that comics were for kids, and when you grew up you moved on to big-boy books without the pictures.”He concluded his post with: “I don’t think it’s a huge stretch to suggest that Donald Trump could only get elected in a country that thinks comic books are important.”
