There is also no evidence whatsoever to back it up. It was simply an opinion offered (I can't remember if it was Jack, Joe or both of them who felt that way, but I do know whoever it was had nothing to back up that assertion). Of course, to those who have already decided that Stan is a villain, proof is hardly required. (And the point is moot as S&K had already agreed to DC's deal and were busy creating work for that company at night while still working for Goodman during the day.)This, of course, is the same vile, heartless Stan Lee who hired people like Jack Kirby and many others (Bill Everett, Wayne Boring, Carmine Infantino, etc.) when they were down on their luck and who tirelessly promoted Jack Kirby. Nobody - even Kirby himself - did more to promote Kirby's name and reputation. He certainly wasn't getting that kind of build-up at DC when he was drawing Green Arrow & Challengers of the Unknown. And who was the guy who named Kirby "King?"Two: Goodman, while unethical, is hardly an anomaly for business in general and the comic book field in particular.
