stan lee the boys the legend
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT According to Garth Ennis, he has never fully read a story by Stan Lee – putting The Boys creator in an extremely exclusive category among the top talents in the comic book industry, who tend to venerate the late prolific Marvel writer. As it turns out, his success is rooted in a rejection of Lee's style of superhero stories.

Speaking with Comic Book Herald, Garth Ennis was asked about Stan Lee's reaction to the younger writer's early-2000s Punisher MAX series – infamously, Lee was opposed to the book. In the process, he also confirmed that he is the farthest thing from a fan of Lee's work. As Garth Ennis stated:
The lack of appeal of Stan Lee and other traditional superhero stories to Garth Ennis as a young reader was, in part, due to the influence of classic British comic books, something that also helped define his aesthetic. As he explained: "The Boys" Satire Of Stan Lee Was Essential To Its Critique Of The Comic Industry "The Legend" Played A Crucial Role Close The Boys was intended to critique what Garth Ennis considered both the creative and commercial problems of superhero stories – many of which he attributed directly to Stan Lee.
From putting Lee's iconic catchphrase in the Legend's mouth, to his first dialogue in The Boys being a reference to Mjolnir, Garth Ennis clearly signaled to readers who the character represented. What he represented, though, was more complex. The Legend was at the crux of Ennis' cautionary observation that even the greatest achievements of art and science can and will be misused when they become commercial products.
