New Documentary Reveals Exploitation of Stan Lee in His Final Years

Filmmaker Jon Bolerjack uncovers allegations of elder abuse and financial manipulation surrounding the Marvel Comics legend's last years.

  • The documentary 'Stan Lee: The Final Chapter,' directed by Jon Bolerjack, explores claims of mistreatment, manipulation, and betrayal during Stan Lee's final years.
  • Bolerjack, a former assistant to Lee, filmed hundreds of hours of footage showing the toll of Lee’s demanding schedule and the exploitation by those in his inner circle.
  • The film alleges that Lee was forced to attend conventions and sign memorabilia despite his deteriorating health, with much of the revenue never reaching him or his family.
  • Key figures in Lee's entourage, including former road manager Max Anderson, are implicated in the documentary, though Anderson has denied any wrongdoing.
  • A Kickstarter campaign has been launched to complete the documentary, which aims to serve as both a tribute to Lee’s legacy and a cautionary tale about the abuse of vulnerable individuals.
