User blog:ARTaylor/Stan Lee on Kirby-Avengers Controversy

Moviefone had a chance to talk to Stan Lee about the lack of credit given to Avengers co-creator Jack Kirby in the upcoming The Avengers film. Kirby and Lee are both credited as creating characters such as Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Nick Fury, and Loki. But while Lee has been used in promotion Kirby has not, though Marvel and The Walt Disney Company are not legally required to do so. In response, several fans and others in the comic book industries have called for a boycott of Marvel-related products.
