From a comic book publisher printing 1 million editions of a ‘Thriller’ comic book to appearing on the cover of a comic book with Richard Nixon, ComicBook.com has published an article about the 8 strangest comic book stories involving Michael Jackson.  The list also includes the story of Michael Jackson almost purchasing Marvel Comics (which I discussed on Tuesday). It’s a bizarre, yet intriguing reading and can be viewable here.

With the sad news of the passing of Michael Jackson last week came all sorts of rumours and stories relating to the singer’s spending habits. One such story included ‘Spiderman’, ‘X-Men’ and ‘Fantastic Four’ co-creator Stan Lee meeting with the King of Pop to discuss the purchase of Marvel Comics:

‘Jackson, who was an avowed fan of Lee’s work at Marvel, was reportedly interested and sat down with Lee and Paul to discuss the possibilities. Salicrup, who was also present, recalls Jackson saying to Lee, “If I buy Marvel, you’ll help me run it, won’t you?”‘

It’s a fascinating article which can be found here.
