Interview with Stan Lee on New York City’s WWOR-TV television talk show Straight Talk, 1974.

Creating a fictional world, a place were people of all ages can escape to, a fairytale that replaces that hole that is left when the fairytales that we all enjoyed as children are no longer intriguing, that is what comic books do. Comic book conventions cater to the older readers as a place to gather and connect over the shared interest of comic books. These heroes connected to the readers because despite thier powers they have normal people issues.
