Found out Stan Lee's first comic work was a filler page in 1941
I was reading an old issue of Captain America Comics #3 and saw a two-page text filler about the evils of tobacco, and the byline was Stan Lee. Blew my mind that the guy who created Spider-Man started out writing stuff like that for $8 a page. Any other fan historians know his least known early gig?

Whoa, is this really that deep though? It's a filler page.

Wait, is this really about how deep a filler page is, or are we just trying to sound like comic book hipsters now? So Stan Lee wrote about not smoking for pocket change, big whoop. I bet half the fans here can't even name five characters he created without Googling it. The real laugh is that a two-page rant about tobacco somehow paid for his lunch that week. Guess that's what happens when you write for a guy named Timely Comics, huh?
