Stan Lee, 1968:
" ... And we talk it out. Lately, I've had Roy Thomas come in, and he sits and makes notes while we discuss it. Then he types them up which gives us a written synopsis. Originally-I have a little tape recorder-I had tried taping it, but then I found no one on staff has time to listen to the tape again later. But this way he makes notes, types it quickly, I get a carbon, the artist gets a carbon...so we don't have to worry that we'll forget what we've said. Then the artist goes home...or wherever he goes...and he draws the thing out, brings it back, and I put the copy in after he's drawn the story based on the plot I've given him. Now this varies with the different artists. Some artists, of course, need a more detailed plot than others. Some artists, such as Jack Kirby, need no plot at all. I mean I'll just say to Jack, 'Let's make the next villain be Dr. Doom'... or I may not even say that. He may tell me. And then he goes home and does it. He's good at plots. I'm sure he's a thousand times better than I. He just about makes up the plots for these stories. All I do is a little editing... I may tell him he's gone too far in one direction or another. Of course, occasionally I'll give him a plot, but we're practically both the writers on the things.
-Perdón Ignacio, pero como escribo mensajes entre partacetamol y simvastatina, pierdo el hilo...no pretendía decirte que uno es método marvel y el otro no, lo que te digo es que el que se puso serio con la continuidad, tomaba notas y se las daba al bullpen para que existiera una mínima coherencia fué Thomas... por así decirlo más deudor veo al Stan de los 4efe y Thor de Kirby y en spidey de Ditko, que a Thomas de Buscema y Adams...pero no deja de ser mi opinión, claro
