Keep in mind it's three decades later and we're all three decades older.<br /><br />My experience working with Stan was that he was really good at names and faces, not so much with the comics trivia we fans so delight in. <br /><br />Working in the Marvel offices and seeing myself and others go bouncing around those offices to make dozens of deadlines each and every day, I'm not surprised details get forgotten or misremembered. <br /><br />I'm younger than Stan and, whenever I write about my comics career, I have to concentrate on remembering stuff, try to find old notes or paperwork and, occasionally, contact some of my co-workers to double-check my memories.<br /><br />Even then, I include disclaimers when I'm not 100% certain of something.

Yet here's a story from bygone days that would seem to dispute that. The second time Stan visited the Marvel UK offices, he did a tour of the office and greeted every one of the staff he'd already met by name. It was a huge thrill for me, then about 25, to have The Man greet me with and handshake and, "Hi, Alan ... keep up the great work of Starburst and Doctor Who magazine!" My belief is Stan has an excellent memory ... claiming he has a poor one just gives him an excuse if ever anyone asks hims about some trivial story detail he wrote decades earlier :-)AirPiratePresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13136561512898563240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252129938551938631.post-23091896492740128332012-12-29T15:01:54.554-05:002012-12-29T15:01:54.554-05:00Ben...those commissions were posted on January 3 a...Ben...those commissions were posted on January 3 and 9 of this year.
