Stan Lee's new book

Still in Santa Monica. If I had been here last week, I could have been among the crowd to line up outside the Santa Monica Public Library to meet Stan "The Man" Lee. The legendary Marvel Comics creator was at the library to sign copies of his new book. It's not a comic book project this time, but a photo book, with Stan's goofy captions accompanying photos of Barack Obama, John McCain, Hillary Clinton and others.

"If you're a fan of mine, you have to have a sense of humor," Stan told the Santa Monica Daily Press.
