With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story (2010)

Stan's story is unequivocally tied in with the story of Marvel; as he matured in his profession so too did his creative output. The film gives insight mostly from Stan's own point of view, but there are contributions from other comics luminaries such as Avi Arad and Jim Lee, and some leeching Hollywood pricks. His working relationship with Jack Kirby receives the most attention, but I doubt many comic fans will bemoan that.
Stan seems like a genuinely nice guy, constantly giving credit to co-creators and artists where its due. Good work, Stan.

He's a fine man.

I'm thankful I was lucky enough to see him at the Calgary Com-con last year.

He and Patrick Stewart were the only (single interviews) that received a long standing ovation.

They deserved it.
