Michael Hill: Was this done Marvel Method? Who's writing, Lee or Lieber?
Patrick Ford: Supposedly Lee was writing. In an interview Jim Shooter said he was plotting the strip for Lee.
Michael Hill: Ah, because Lieber, the most prolific script writer in the history of the Marvel Universe, always needed the germ of an idea. I guess that means if he's drawing, he's unable to work Marvel Method.
Patrick Ford: In 2010 Kirby family attorney Marc Toberoff asked Lee if Lee was still receiving $125,000 a year for writing the Spider-Man strip. Lee said he didn't remember. When Toberoff pointed out to portion of Lee's contract which mentioned the payment for the strip Lee replied, "Well if it says it there, I must be."
Patrick Ford: At that time Roy Thomas was writing the strip.
