I'm so tired of the "Stan vs. Jack"/"Stan vs. Steve" binary. Nothing Ditko or Kirby created without Stan had any legs (Darkseid -might- be the one exception), nor did anything Stan create without Kirby, Ditko, Heck, or Lieber. They needed the symbiosis, but that doesn't make for either good television or "Great Man" theory (I'm actually surprised Sorkin or Ken Burns haven't gotten their grubby mitts on this one.)
