Last night — probably because I began the mean-spirited biography True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee right before settling in for sleep — I dreamt I was waiting at Comic-Con to see The Man again. But, alas, I woke before I got to the front of the line.

Poor Stan Lee, who somehow, through pure misfortune no doubt, managed to make every historically great artist of his day hate his guts

When a biographer tells the reader they're about to experience the life story of a bullshitter, and then whenever there are any gray areas, casts it in the worst way possible for the subject, the writer's thumb is on the scales, and I'm comfortable in calling that mean-spirited.

An annoying, unnecessary jab I came across this morning was for the author to refer to the Bullpen Bulletins as "the so-called Bullpen Bulletins section." What’s the point of using "so-called" there? They actually *were* the Bullpen Bulletins page! That’s what they were called!
