Stan Lee Was Tricked Into Allowing a Controversial Story by Fake Fan Mail
In the 1970s a pair Marvelcomiccreators pulled off a larger-than-life scheme to trick Stan Lee and preserve their artistic vision. From the 1950s onwards, comics were often targeted for censorship in order to comply with the Comics Code Authority. However, comics writers also had to be careful to not just comply with the Authority’s standards but also not to print something that might turn off a portion of their readers. Stan Lee thought that one reality warping Dr. Strange storyline had the potential to do just that.
