Was Stan Lee’s name on the door at Marvel?

Stan Lee’s name was on the door, Steve Ditko’s was not. (neither was Jack Kirby’s, but that is another story.) Steve Ditko is a bit of a crank and always was – even back in the day. So whatever he has said, take it with a bit of salt. Stan Lee was not only the writer, he was also the Art Director at Marvel.
