EXCELSIOR No More
or: the Big Barker
Well, foo. This puts a period to it all, don't it.
We can debate 'till the Skrulls come home as to who did the heavy lifting at Marvel but, for me, it comes down to this: Like Uncle Walt at Disney or Jobs at Apple, somebody had to assemble the forces, put a bee in their bonnets and then turn them loose on an unsuspecting populace.
More importantly, someone had to stand out on the street corners, grab our attention and convince us that our lives would be less without the magic that lies within the House-of-Ideas. Magic that could be ours for a mere 12¢ per ticket (such a deal.)
Happy Trails, Stan and Nuff Said!
