The Truth About Omega Lad: Part 5
Aug 07, 2017
Creator
Stan "The Man" Lee.
The priceless prince of purple prose!
While his critics might point out his dialogue hasn't aged as well as the man himself, it's got to be noted there was a maturity of theme in his writing that simply couldn't be found at the Distinguished Competition at the same time.
At the "Other Company", All-Powerful Guy (trademarked) was trying to hide a malfunctioning Secret Identity Robot (trademarked) from the reporter he pined for... just a variation of the same gag they had been telling for years.
But Lee was creating real identifiable drama in Marvel's books as Peter Parker was struggling to get out from under a ton of wreckage to get medicine to his sick Aunt May,
Ben Grimm worried that he was becoming more like the monster he looked like, Thor struggled with being worthy of the hammer Odin had bestowed him and so on.
This concept of combining the fantastic with relatable adult problems became the formula that changed the demographic of comic readers... and the entire industry.
To be concluded...
