I was riding a New York City bus the other day & I saw an advertisement for a book written by Stan Lee. I don't remeber the title, but it didn't strike me as being related to comics. I was just wondering if anyone out there in netland knew if it is the same Stan Lee and/or what the book is about. Thanks. Shawn P. Daly New York Blood Center New York, N.Y.

I think the book in question is titled "Conundrum". It seemed like a spy/thriller. I don't know if "Stan Lee" is our Stan Lee. Franklin Reynolds ihpn4!inmet!frankr

Yes, Stan Lee HAS written a book, but it's not the Stan Lee we've come to know and...well... Anyway, it's called "Dunn's Conundrum, and according to my father (who's reading it) it's pretty good. A little TOO good to be written by our Stan. (Lee is not his real name anyway, I understand). Scott Berry

Yeah, _Dunn's_Conundrum_. I read about 5 pages, and if it's The Man, then his writing style has changed. "Is that how a warped brain like your's gets its kicks? By planning the deaths of innocent people?" "No... by *causing* the deaths of innocent people."

Stan Lee (the comic book kahuna) was born Stanley Lieber, but Stan Lee has been his legal name for a very long time. > From: lzaz!nrh (Nigel The Mad Englishman or The Madly Maundering Mumbler in the Wildernesses) > I was once told that Stan Lee was the same person as the one time editor > of Analog who has written a book or two under the name Stanley Schmitz. (1) It's Stanley Schmidt, not Schmitz. (2) He isn't "the one time editor", but the current editor of ANALOG. (3) I have met Stanley Schmidt, and he looks nothing like the dust jacket photo of DUNN'S CONUNDRUM's author. (Of course, Stephen King doesn't look at all like "Richard Bachman", either. :-)) --- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, Acton-Nagog, MA) UUCP: {decvax|ihnp4|allegra|ucbvax|...} !decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-akov68!boyajian ARPA: boyajian%akov68.DEC@DECWRL.DEC.COM
