One Of My Many Problems With This Bozo: He Promulgated The Myth That New York Is The Most Important City On Earth


New York was, once upon a time, long ago. The mantle has passed to Hong Kong. Norman Mailer wrote that “New York is the capitol of the twentieth century.”
Hong Kong is the capitol of the twenty-first century; but Marvel stories take place, on Earth at least, in the Tired Apple.

Parochial, insular, unimaginative poppycock.

Mark Twain said it best - Write what you know.

Stan Lee lived in New York. He knew it. So he wrote about it. It wasn't like back then you could Google "Cincinnati" and have an idea of what the city was like.
