The Comic Book Greats With Jim Lee Part 1

[@afonsolucas2219]

Stan was so enthusiastic, He even showed a panel that wasn't a poster, Jim tried to say it wasn't the poster, but he dared not speak!

[@RioLajasWolF]

And now J.Lee is DC Comics Chief Creative Officer. Insane how small we can start and become great.

[@jonisafreak3]

Now he’s the president of DC 🥹

[@bongmajor]

Ha! I used to watch this all the time to inspire me when I was drawing and sending out portfolios to every company in '93-'94. I was lucky to have Jim hire me and get me my start in '95 before I graduated high school. Such a great guy.

[@ShenardL]

I like how Jim mentioned his Psychology degree and attending med school but not mentioning where he went... Princeton.

[@jonisafreak3]

He’s now the president of DC. He always come off as a highly intelligent and humble human being with a god given ability to draw. It’s great seeing him young and so early on after only reading and watching him draw on twitch and his comics.

[@BonzoDrummer]

The dude is a legend. X-Men (1991) 1 will forever be the best-selling comic issue of all time.

[@JoeyJojoJrJr]

Yeah, but a big part of that is because it came out at the absolute height of 90s comic book speculation, and once that bubble burst (which X-Men 1 helped cause), the comic industry never fully rebounded, and is now a small fraction of what it was then.

[@BonzoDrummer]

[@harshlight7]

I was a 90s comic book kid. I remember all of those X Men foil/holographic covers, "special editions," "trading" cards, allegedly "rare" McFarlane toys and all that over-hyped marketing bullshit that made us think that we had to spend $100 a month to be a real fan. My garage is still full of them. Easier to sell eight million books when everyone buys four copies of the same issue (and I had all four.) Jim Lee is still one of the greats, though.

[@parlowderick]

Yeah, the 90's was an interesting time in the history of comics in that was when sales were at their highest point ever. Greed was rampant during this time with almost ever comic publisher taking advantage of their customers by over-hyping everything they put out. It pretty much wrecked the industry when people started to realize that those comics they bought were not really worth much because the market was over-flowing with multiple copies. Stan Lee is a legend in the comic industry and is responsible for so many great characters and stories, but it is disappointing that he is as guilty as everyone else involved in that shady side of the business. It had nothing to do with writing stories and entertaining people and everything to do with getting a few more dollars out of their loyal readers. It was a short sighted vision for a quick cash grab that would leave a long lasting resentment for most of the people that had bought those comics .

[@brucew7339]

Who would have thought then we'd have almost 30 more awesome years of stan the man

[@PBSviaPNW]

So interesting to listen to this with the hindsight knowledge of what he did shortly after with everyone creating Image

[@JoeyJojoJrJr]

Yes! It's crazy watching this knowing that it was probably filmed just a few months before Jim Lee left Marvel to form Image. Jim Lee talks about working on X-Men #8, and #11 was his last issue before leaving Marvel.

[@dajex16]

Jim Lee 90's: "The fan mail that comes in...I'm effected by what they say and be in-tune to what the audience want." Comics Today: "If you don't like my politics, don't buy my book."
