Sounds the title of a 1960s tv sitcom.

Stan never wrote anything and just transcribed what the artist did. Stan constantly wrote a story and dialog that changed what the artist did. Oh, that Stan! Remember, you must refer to Stan as THE EDITOR while removing all earned credits from his history!

It sure does. It would be about an impish Stan Lee who goofs around the Marvel bullpen, telling stories and jokes in faux Shakespearean dialog and pulling pranks on co-workers. But in every episode his antics inspire some writer and/or artist to come up with a great story idea. And every episode ends with said writer/artist acknowledging the fact in an after-work discussion with his/her colleagues, ending the conversation by saying, "Oh, that Stan!" Stan, standing somewhere within earshot but out of sight, breaks the fourth wall, winks at the camera and then the credits roll.
I'm seeing some potential for TV shows in the other suggestions here as well: The Editor - Stan as a gruff Lou Grant-type who runs the bullpen with an iron hand. Everyone on the job fears him, but grudgingly respects him, because he drives them to live up to their creative potential and always produce the best comics possible. And nobody calls him anything but 'Editor.'
Quantum Stan - Stan's disembodied spirit jets from the body of one to another comics creator having a crisis of confidence and helps them get on the right path. And not just comics creators, but also comics-adjacent and even proto-comics creators (e.g., the season one finale sees him enter the body of a young artistic soul in southern France about 30,000 years ago, helping her assert herself among her tribespeople - and she later goes on to create the paintings in Cauvet Cave).

That was the intention.

Hey, guys, I know it's tempting but I don't think we should be mocking a poster who's been banned no matter how annoying and wrongheaded we found him.
Cei-U! I summon my sense of fair play!

I wasn't aware that he was banned. You're right of course not to engage in this type of chatter on the forum. ( we can do it in the zoom meeting). Just kidding of course, well maybe...

You are right. But I thought this dichotomy was worth a post since it is a narrative (or two narratives) that go beyond that one poster.
Including a thread about all the FF issues were done completely by Jack, except Stan rewrote every one.

First full appearance of Yelena Belova is a hot book...I put a $275 bid on this and still got beaten

Dollar bin material 5 years ago... glad I got mine then. Great covers in that little run, but the story is underwhelming.

My understanding is that her first appearance was in the Jae Lee Inhumans mini series.

My understanding is that her first appearance was in the Jae Lee Inhumans mini series. It is, in issue #5, but it’s brief and not considered a “full” appearance. It falls into the Wolverine and Darkseid category of discussions about first appearances, which are ridiculously tedious. The market has decided what their “true” first appearances are by the prices paid for the various issues, not a bunch of aging pedantic fanboy gatekeepers (not saying you’re one, my friend, so please take no offense).

Ha, I the farthest away from keeping any gates. I don't give a flying, you know what...

I was just wondering why ComicBase lists Inhumans #5 for high ($79 where the rest of the series is $2-5.) I don't even remember her being in it but it's been a long time. *digs it out* Oh yeah, now I remember. She is on three full pages, and has a complete conversation with someone, so it's not like the Wolverine first appearance. It's full enough for me.

Yep, #5 but she really breaks out in that 1st Black Widow series from 1999. That Inhumans book still sells for a couple hundred....and is the top cash cow in the 12-issue mini series.
