One of Stan Lee’s best tricks was making everyone believe that Spider-Man invented that constant in-fight joking. Reading the earliest Batman and Superman stories, they never bloody shut up, doing exactly that motormouth act that was latterly associated with Marvel.

“I fully expect to see him teamed up with Sugar & Spike and Fox & Crow to combat Stanley’s Monster in some early issue of Brave & Bold”
