Stan Lee Reaches Settlement With Marvel
Cartoonist Lee Reaches Deal With Marvel

By PAT MILTON, Associated Press Writer Thu Apr 28, 7:58 PM ET

NEW YORK - Superhero creator Stan Lee is feeling rather super himself after reaching a settlement with Marvel Enterprises. The cartoonist had sued in November 2002 to share profits generated by the company's TV and movie productions — particularly the box-office smash "Spider-Man," which earned more than $800 million worldwide, and its super successful sequel.

Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

"We are very, very happy with the resolution," Lee's lawyer, Howard Graff, said Thursday.

Graff had said previously that the potential payday from Marvel could be in the tens of millions of dollars.

1. I hate Stan Lee!
Bastard! He deserves to have "his" creations stolen since it's the same thing Stan did to Jack Kirby. Without Kirby, Stan Lee would've been nothing, yet Lee takes all the credit.
