Except I have never seen a single time Stan Lee took sole credit for anything. I heard he did way back in the 70s, but since I've known about the man since 1990 on, he's been nothing but a humble gentlemen. Yes, he may not be perfect, but the dude was ready to quit the comic industry when Jack pushed him to co-create the Fantastic Four with him and it was Stan's vision that pushed super heroes from being as one dimensional as the paper they were drawn on to fully fleshed out characters. I doubt Jack would have ever been able to do that on his own, at least initially. DC would have figured it out sooner or later, but it was Timely's ascension into Marvel that arrived first to the party.

Also, Stan did more than just that. He was the one who helped shape Super Sentai in Japan and wanted to bring the shows to the US by replacing the Japanese actors with American ones a decade before Haim Saban did it with Power Rangers.

I wouldn't say it was lazy in the slightest because you have to have complete chemistry with your artists to pull it off right. Stan, Jack, Steve, and John all had that chemistry with each other, especially Stan and Jack.
