laid up in the Hotel Pierre. Someone brought him some comic
books to read and he was so taken with the exploits of Spider-
Man and The Incredible Hulk that he called the Marvel Comics
office and set up a meeting with the company's honcho Stan
Lee. Years later, Lee recalled that his receptionist
said, "Stan, there's a Fred ______ here to see you." X entered
Lee's office with a four-man entourage, all of them clad in black
raincoats. With a translator smoothing the way, X and Lee had
