As part of TOYHEM!, we’re bringing you a series-within-a-series — the Custom Mego Box of the Day, by 13th Dimension contributor and customizer extraordinaire Anthony Durso.

Custom Mego Box of the Day #4 was inspired by Batman ’66. Click here.

And, now we bring you Custom Mego Box of the Day #5:

STAN LEE

This is the second Stan Lee box I’ve designed and my most current. I was ultimately dissatisfied with the first one because Stan kind of blended in with the background. With this revision, the original background became the insert and Stan took the main focus of the box all by himself. Stan Lee was a pretty influential creator when I started collecting comics in the ’70s and I wanted to pay homage to that with this design. The artwork is famously from the cover of FOOM #17, by the legendary Marvel artist… Arnold Sawyer????
