@HeerJeet My understanding is Fantastic Four #1 really was written fully by Stan Lee, and then the "Marvel Method" evolved going forward.

@EricKleefeld That's one version but I don't believe it because FF has many, many elements of earlier Kirby: Challengers, Sky-Masters, etc.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@HeerJeet It was also Lee who fully insisted the FF not have secret identities — or even superhero uniforms, in their first two issues.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@EricKleefeld I have to think about that. I sort of feel Kirby was moving away from secret identities in pre-FF work.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@HeerJeet Kirby's original art for FF #3 had masks on the uniforms. Then it got changed — a crucial decision. http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2007/06/14/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-107/ …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@HeerJeet Best way to say it is Fantastic Four was created by Lee/Kirby, Spider-Man by Lee/Ditko — and beyond that, it gets complicated!1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@EricKleefeld Fair enough. I do think Lee had a subtle crucial role: his voice gave unity to entire Marvel line, gave it cohesiveness.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@HeerJeet For a long time, comics fans didn't give Kirby enough credit. I've worried pendulum has swung too far the other way, against Lee.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@EricKleefeld Kirby/Ditko much, much more eccentric than Lee. He helped make their work accessible to a mass audience. So he was crucial.
