Stan Lee in the Peoples Archive
A marketer from the Peoples Archive Website dropped by YACB central to let us know that Marvel legend Stan Lee is featured in an interview about his life on their Website. Broken up into bite-sized chunks, it would appear that anyone can view the less-than-YouTube-quality version free, but higher quality video requires a subscription to the site. Lee talks about not only his time at Marvel, but also his early life and his later business ventures.
