My first Blastr contribution of 2012, 7 Stan Lee creations that should have been movies a long time ago<\/a> came about from an article by Mark London Williams<\/a>.

I found 7 creations that fit my criteria. You’ll have to head over to Blastr<\/a> to find out what they are, but check out this image for a few clues.<\/p>\n
