#MarvelMethod
Stan Lee as Matt Murdock narrating the obvious in Daredevil #46, 1968. There isn't a single good scripting decision on this page. Gene Colan inked by George Klein, lettered by Artie Simek. #artofthecomicbook #genecolan #stanlee #artiesimek #marvelmethod

This 1975 Tomb of Dracula page by Gene Colan shows how the '60s era Marvel Method falls apart. '70s boards left very little room for notes on the sides. Marv Wolfman probably had no idea what Colan was gibbering on about. #marvelmethod #marvwolfman #genecolan #artofthecomicbook

I just don't think i can properly set the stage within the 10 page boundary. Also for some reason I'm following the Marvel Method of art first then text. And I'm getting new ideas that I would like to add to it. I'll get it done. Eventually lol.

#GeneColan loved working with #StanLee's #MarvelMethod of writing. However, he would have to record his story sessions with Lee to play back later at a slower speed because Lee talked so fast.

When #GeneColan returned to #Marvel in the 1960's, his signed his name #AdamAustin, like many artists did at the time so #DC wouldn't know they were working at Marvel. At first, Colan wasn't a fan of #StanLee's new #MarvelMethod of writing but soon loved the freedom it allowed.

It was a packed house panel! I normally sit near the front, as to better see the panelists, but this time around sat towards the back conjuring spiritual #KirbyMagic via my phone and drawing that! Plus it was great drawing the #KingOfComics! #VivaKingKirby! #MarvelMethod #Kirbyverse #Cosmic Pt 3 🧵

This reprint of Avengers #12, from January 1965, showcases Stan Lee's unique ‘Marvel Method’—a collaborative approach with artists. Lee crafted synopses, while artists like Don Heck shaped the visuals. Check it out! #MarvelMethod #Avengers #StanLee 🦸‍♂️📚 youtube.com/shorts/YhuEG...
What is The #Marvel Method? #TheMarvelMethod #marvelcomics #comichistory #comic #comicbook #comics
Marvel Triple Action #6 is a reprint from Avengers #12 originally released in January 1965 and was written and edited by Stan Lee himself, or at least as far as ‘The Marvel Method’ was concerned. The method, which was not created at Marvel but used almost exclusively at this time worked like this; Lee would brainstorm a story with an artist and then prepare a brief synopsis rather than a full script. Based on the synopsis, the artist would fill the allotted number of pages by determining and drawing the panel-to-panel storytelling. After the artist turned in penciled pages, Lee would write the word balloons and captions, and then oversee the lettering and coloring. In effect, the artists were co-plotters, whose collaborative first drafts Lee built upon. This is how Lee and penciler Don Heck worked at that time.

#JohnRomitaSr.'s most significant work at #TimelyComics (which later became #Atlas) was penciling #CaptainAmerica's brief revival under editor-in-chief #StanLee. However, he hadn't quite found his style yet and was restricted by Lee's writing, who hadn't adopted the #MarvelMethod yet.
