STAN'S SOAPBOX COLUMNS COLLECTED!
Posted at 7:10 PM by gormuu

The Hero Initiative is on fire with some really great books designed to raise money for their worthy charity. Following up on their partnership with Marvel to deliver the Gene Colan Tribute Book comes a 144-page collection of all of Stan Lee's Soapboxes from the Bullpen Bulletin columns from 1967-1980. According to THIS LINK at the Hero Initiative blogspot, a softcover trade will be available on November 19. It will sell for $14.99.

Of course, any true Masterworks fan is going to want the hardcover edition for $34.99! There's also a signed Stan Lee edition autographed by Stan The Man for a cool $99. But it's all for a good cause, as the Hero Initiatve provides financial support for comics creators who are in genuine need.

The hardcovers are limited to 250 in quantity, so if you want one, order now! I'm placing an order after I post this for the non-signed edition and it's going to go right on my shelf amongst all my Masterworks!

I'm getting one too. I also need to get his memoirs. I met him once in Forbidden Planet in London. He signed his name in gold.

I got the autographed version.

I met him once at a comic convention in Boston circa 1989-90. A true honor.

Stan appeared at a NYC Con in the 80s (or late 70s)
and during a Q&A I asked him if I could have a job.
He went into the usual 'keep practicing, show you stuff at cons' etc.
I told him, "No, I mean a job like your driver or security guy. I don't
really want to work hard, like you and your artists do".
He was amused.
