HARVEY TO STAN 1972

When told in 1965 that Stan Lee was helping revitalize comics over at Marvel, former EC Artist Bernard Krigstein responded:

I was delighted to learn that Lee has attained the status of an authority in the comics field. Twenty years of unrelenting editorial effort to suppress the artistic effort, encourage miserable taste, flood the field with degraded imitations and polluted non-stories, treating artists and writers like cattle, and failure on his part to make an independent success as a cartoonist have certainly qualified him for this respected position.
