I am a big Stan the Man fan. I love STAN lee's JLA and heroes as well as his marvel creations.
I am particularly a big fan of the new Superman that Stan did a ways back. He used a high tech flying vest to allow him  to fly. Lois was his publicity agent! He was very much the strange visitor.
What did you think? Would you like to see a crossover with him and the traditional Superman.?

it was called Stan Lee's "Just Imagine" series, Just Imagine, Superman with an alien marooned on earth, a former policeman,like Hawkman he was named SALDAN and worked in a circus for a while. He wanted to get back to his homeworld but human tech was so low it couldn't get there so he dedicated himself to help its advance.  by fighting crime

Ignore the whiners harping on STRIPERELLA - the JUST IMAGINE...? books shows that Stan the Man's still got it just like back in the day.

Would the DC Universe be different if Stan could bring his approach to THEM instead of Marvel? Yes; it would be different, though no less interesting.

Stan Lee's SUPERMAN had an interesting, reality-grounded concept: a guy from a high-grav world getting incredible speed, strength and toughness on ours, and he has to "pretend" his feats come from a costume, which is a really amusing irony. Lois Lane makes an appearance as a shameless promoter; the personality is interesting, particularly on a female character.  

Stan Lee's THE FLASH was the best version of the character that we've seen in years. The "I just ran so fast I saw myself...because I went faster than light" blew my mind - as did the colored rainbow of hair behind the character.

The other triumph of the JUST IMAGINE series was the SANDMAN, a very well characterized character with distinctive powers (a crystal that created gas that put people to sleep and the ability to touch the Dream World).

I really liked Striparella.  It was funny as can be and  reminded me of the Tick in its send up of the comic super shero. I laughed like crazy and thought Pamela did a fine job of voice performance. I haven't ever seen a tv/movie production which Stan had control of that I didn't like at least part of . But I could see how Striparella wasn't everybody's cup of tea considering political correctness.  So What? It was fun and entertaining.  If  they want to whine, let them watch Mutant X instead.
  By the way, JulianPerez, I was born in Miami, Florida , in Mercy Hospital and grew up in Miami and the general area until I was 21.  I moved there again for a while in 1984 until 1987, though I ended up living in Miami Springs and Hialeah before moving to Oakland, California in 1987.

  Yeah , I liked the Stan Lee Saldan/Superman and wish it had become a regular series.
I didn't read the Flash or Sandman yet, i will definitelly check them out.  I liked Batman, and Green Lantern.

That is a distinctive power. Very useful but not often found in comics. Touching the dreams of others. cool.

I only read half of the Just Imagine series so far, but I really liked Stan's Superman. Most Superfans hate it.

I am of the mind that you can never get enough Supeman related products and books.  I enjoy the alternate Supermen that have popped up over the years. I liked electric-Supes. I liked Superman red and blue. I liked the Generations Supermen and superwomen.  The WHAT IF factor has always been a cool way of writing new and unique stories about an older character.  I even like Superman as a non-super hero in Kandor . What was their name? I think it was Nightwing and Flamebird.
But I am also a big fan of the basic formula Superman, with his CK identity hid by mere glasses, his love Lois needing to be rescued and his strong stand for Purity, Truth, Justice, Honor, and Life. He may be a boyscout but so was I once.
