The upcoming documentary Stan Lee: The Final Chapter by Jon Bolerjack sheds light on the alleged mistreatment of comic book legend Stan Lee.
The film aims to expose the abuse, manipulation, and exploitation Lee endured in his final years.
The Tragic Final Years of Stan Lee
Stan Lee, the visionary behind Marvel Comics, passed away on November 12, 2018, at the age of 95 in Los Angeles. However, even before his passing, concerns had emerged about his well-being. Reports surfaced claiming that Lee was being overworked and exploited, with criminals conspiring to drain his wealth.
Jon Bolerjack’s Secret Documentary
Jon Bolerjack, who was Lee’s assistant, confidant, and friend, has been working on Stan Lee: The Final Chapter in secret. In a Kickstarter campaign video, Bolerjack revealed that Lee was subjected to “mistreatment, manipulation, and betrayal at the hands of a few very bad actors.”
According to the documentary, Lee was frequently forced to work beyond his physical capacity. One disturbing event captured in the film shows Lee being made to sign entire rooms full of memorabilia, despite his advanced age and declining health.
Disturbing Footage and Testimonies
“At the time, I didn’t have the power to stop it,” Bolerjack says in the documentary’s trailer. “But I did have a camera, and I filmed everything.”
