Have you every READ those books? It was from them we learned that Kirby created the Silver Surfer, that Ditko was called in to create his own version of Spider-Man, and a whole lot of other things most of us had not known before.

Those books say "Stan Lee"'on the cover because he is the author of those books. Inside, Stan gives plenty of credit where it's due. (Kirby boosters seem most upset because Stan doesn't give ALL the credit to Kirby. Even what belongs to others!)

Nothing like that. If Chris wrote a history of the X-Men, as Stan wrote a history of Marvel, I would expect the cover to say CHRIS CLAREMONT. I would expect to see my proper credit given inside.
