Marvel's Stan Lee Googles Himself

by Leila Brillson on July 27, 2009 at 03:28 PM



Stan Lee, the adorable, nearly senile granddaddy of Marvel Comics, has admitted that, though he isn't a "technical person," he does own an iPhone and does Google himself. At this weekend's Comic Con in San Diego, Lee was promoting his new digital motion comic (read: cheaper than animation, but still fun to watch and read) called 'Time Jumper'.

During his roundtable discussion, he spoke articulately about his projects, how he is a born storyteller who just lets the medium fall into place, and how comics have a bright future in the tech world. Despite his forward-thinking plans, Mr. Lee still thinks his iPhone is "a mystery," and hardly has time to use the computer, saying in the video above:
I have so little time that every day what I do is just Google the name 'Stan Lee,' and I Google the name 'Pow Entertainment,' to see what people are writing about me and the company. So I get a lot of things that way, but I don't have time to do any more. I'd be sitting in front of the computer all day -- which I'd love to do -- but I haven't got the time.


Don't worry, Stan. Everyone engages in a bit of ego-stroking now and again. With some of the comic genre's most innovative and successful stories (Spider-Man, X-Men, The Hulk, and more) under your belt, you should feel free to Google away. [From: ComicsAlliance]
