Most of Marvel's heroes rely on Stan Lee a person to write , such a heavy workload is unimaginable to or dinary people. Sometimes even Stan Lee himself can not remember the characters written, in order to facilitate the memory, he named the characters in the pen deliberately selected the same initials - Peter Parker (Peter Parker), Bruce Banner (Bruce Banner), Matt Murdock (Matt Murdock) ...... At the same time, he invented the "Comic Book Creative Method": Step 1: the screenwriter and editor discuss and propose a story outline; Step 2: the artist receives the outline, decides the pace and focus of the story, and draws the comic into a specified number of pages; Step 3: After the scriptwriter receives the artist's pencil sketch, he or she uses it as a guide to write the final script, including character dialogue and titles; Step 4: The process of tracing, inking and coloring. This approach is equivalent to the scriptwriters only provide creative ideas, by the artists to play their own creativity to create, and then the scriptwriter to "look at the picture and talk" ;, reducing the scriptwriter's labor, but increased the work of the artists, so with the comic book writers to cooperate with the artists are particularly important.
