Stan Lee narrates animated Captain America television show, ca. 1966

Stan Lee, then editor of Marvel Comics, narrates a video regarding the viability of top Marvel Comics characters for television. The first Marvel characters portrayed on television used panels from the comics with the same style of illustrations—the reasoning being that if it worked for the books, it should work for the shows. And it did. The transition to different forms of media from comic books made Marvel Comics even more successful. The video runs 9 minutes, 39 seconds.
