I mean really?

Below is a photo of Stan's sig on a modern I had done for my wife in 2010. What strikes me most is how clear and readable the signature is. While it is obviously the signature of a person who signs their name often, fluid & smooth, it isn't a nun identifiable black scrawl on my wife's book. It is rather crisp, and although I gave Stan free reign to sign anywhere on the book he wanted, he selected a location that doesn't hammer the artwork.

Yesterday I posted about my sole Stan sig series book, and while I love it, it does look like it was signed by an angry doctor with a dull sharpie. It is basically a dull black smear across my book. While I am willing to acknowledge that age might have something to do with the deterioration of his sig, or even his up and down health, I really blame the way his handlers have him do the signatures. Too many sigs, too fast, all in the name of the unholy dollar...

I would be happier if there were fewer Stan lee sigs, but they were more beautiful to behold. I personally won't have another book signed by Stan.
