Stan lee signature legit?

I mean I can see similarities to a lot of other signatures. I also like to ask myself why would somebody fake a signature on THIS book? Kind of a random one to do it on. Sure, perhaps done to increase the value of an otherwise cheap low grade copy but...I still say it is more real than fake. If concerned though, return and stick to buying legit signature. If you can live with a lie and the price, that is good too. And if you really must know, certain people will charge you for such things.

Because the book had little value, that is, significantly less value it would have had without the Stan Lee "signature", which is why the forgers typically raid the "bargain boxes", low grade, low demand books for their signature fodder.

'Raid' is a good word, isn't it? One of my favourites, so versatile, a couple of meanings.

Regarding OP book signature: Atypical size, stiff looking, lack of fluidity... appearance of stops and starts. It has issues. I can't say with 100% confidence it's bad, but I have significant doubts.

Be confident, Mr. Z. There are 9 distinct formation issues with this signature, any one of them that you will never find in any legit Lee signature from any era.
