  • By the way, did you know that Stan Lee got the idea for the Watcher from the Bible?

    "I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and an holy one came down from heaven."  Daniel 4:13

    He often read the King James Bible --- sadly, not for inspirational value, but for story/character ideas.  Why else would a Nordic god (Thor) speak in Elizabethan English (the KJV was written in 1611) to sound 'more noble'?

  • Great post Alec.  Too bad we don't see more of that in the current books.

  • More to come in the next few days!

  • I really appreciate these posts. Action in comics is fun, but it's stuff like this that really grabs people and inspires them.
