jay plemons(@jayplemons):Stephen Root: Marvel Comics saved my career “I was a huge Marvel guy from the time I was a teenager. By the time I got to New York as a starving actor, I had to sell a lot of my comics just to pay the rent. But I feel that was good… because that kept me being an actor in New York. The only ones I said I wouldn’t sell are the Fantastic Fours, and I still have them.”
