Since my column on comics wunder mensch Stan Lee appeared, I’ve heard from loads of his fans –- and now, I’ve heard just what he’s a fan of.
The Primate Rescue Center in Nicholasville, Ky., is the beneficiary of Lee’s pen and brain and heart. He and artist Dean Haspiel drew a zinger, a four-panel comic for the online charity graphic anthology called Panels for Primates, to benefit the center. Have a look.
The killing in the Edgar Allan Poe story ‘The Murders in Rue Morgue,’ often credited as the first detective story, was committed by an orangutan; maybe it’s time for someone like Stan Lee to put the Spandex suit on a simian and make a superhero out of him for a change?
