Stan clearly hired Jack Kirby so Jack could do his writing for him, which Stan then took BOTH CREDIT AND PAY for. Stan's a crook, and he learned from the best.


Except... Stan had been replacing Kirby as writer since 1941. Stan didn't hire Kirby. Rather Kirby made a mess of his relationship at DC and had to go to Marvel to get work. Stan regularly ignored Kirby's writing to replace it with his own.
