      Sketching Out His Past

      East 90s, Manhattan
      One-bedroom apartment
      (1945-1947)
      My wife, Joan, and I rented the top floor of a brownstone. It had a small terrace and a bathroom with a skylight. We bought some zebra-skin chairs. The place looked like a million dollars. By then I was working for my cousin, who owned what would become Marvel Comics. I wrote westerns, war stories and romances, which I did in a female voice, "as told to Stan Lee."
