You all know Stan, he’s the guy who co-created Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, and essentially re-booted the entire Comics industry by organizing the group of talented creators that kick-started the Silver Age of Comics. Well, in addition to all of that5 (and being the head Honcho of Marvel for years on end, he also is a huge fan of Fumetti, that is the art of adding word balloons to photos. Stan not only did this years ago at Marvel (and with a book called Golfers Anonymous.
Well, he’s done it again, only this time he has taken aim at the Presidential political candidates. If you haven’t laughed yet this election season at the silliness that has been going on in our political arena, then you need to purchase this book so you can start.
It is silly, irreverent, and socially un-redeeming. Yet it precisely what we need at this point in the election process. As an aside for anyone who thought that Stan was no longer relevant to pop culture, think again, for you are sadly mistaken.
All I can say is you need to buy this book!
This is the place where I discuss all things Sacred and Profane. Stop by and check me out. Leave a comment (or not), as this is done for my own amusement. If you too are entertained, all the better, but that is not the motivation here. For I, am a...Writer with attitude! Comics, Sci Fi, movies, TV, Books, the Internet, Pop Culture, you name it. I talk about all of these things and more. These are the things that entertain me. I can only hope that some of them will entertain you as well.

Thanks for mentioning this, Robbert! I am so buying this book!
Sounds like something fun to pick up.
Btw, Bob, did you ever watch that Superhero-related reality show contest he was judging over on Sci-Fi? If so (or even if you did not, but have heard of it), what were your thoughts on that?
Yes, Tommy, I watched the first season and realized that while I thought that I had a dull and tragic life, it was by no means as pitiful as the folks on this show. Having said this, I knew that had I the means I too would have made a costume and flew out to the West Coast to try out for the show myself.
