Some months back I posted a remark on a You tube video in which Alan Moore talked completely inaccurate bollocks about that 'great thief" of creators ideas Stan Lee.
Everyone KNOWS Lee has an awful memory -its almost as legendary as his name. I have seen a couple interviews in which he says "My memory is awful: if you want to say I created the character go ahead -I don't know!" There was an amusing Alter Ego interview with Lee in which Roy Thomas asked Lee questions but had to answer them himself because Lee just couldn't remember.
Lee has also put into writing that Ditko is co-creator of Spider-Man. That is correct.
Now, unless you read one of those badly researched or pure out to malign Lee articles then you would know the facts. In fact, even in critical articles/books Lee comes out as having always stuck by his guns and not being the villain (seriously, Lee was not the boss of Marvel).
Anyway, months after posting my comments some screeching little tit has come along to challenge me on poor or no research. Oh my words did he pick on the wrong person to accuse of that!
Anyway, I re-iterated my comment. I also stated that I did not think You Tube comments was a place to discuss this topic (it just is not). I invited this person to identify him/herself rather than use a silly pseudonym -that is plain cowardly if you are going to call names.
As it happens he/she has not identified themselves nor provided reference/proof of their assertion -other than Moore's diatribe.
Just checked...no. No response. I win.
For the record: challenge me on a comment anywhere AT THE TIME and not months later. However, only do so if you are willing to actually identify yourself. I will not waste my time debating with an anonymous weasel. I'm open -you should be.
