I have Stan Lee's memoir (It's a comic, of course. See here.)
I wanted to share a few bits of it about Joan.
Stan: To appreciate my reaction to seeing Joan^^for ^^the ^^first ^^time, you have to understand that I'd been drawing her for years! She was my dream girl, you see. I did countless drawings of her over the years -- and I'm not even an artist!
---------------
There I was in 1947 and I was a few days shy of my 25^th birthday. And what a birthday present I got. A friend set me up for a blind date with a model! I had no idea what to expect. That's kind of the point of blind dates, I guess. After three years at army camps, I couldn't wait to see her. She wasn't just a her, she was a vision!
She wasn't even the model I was suppose to meet!
Stan: Her name is Joan Bocock. British. From a place called Newcastle Upon Tyne.
I... fell in love with her the moment I saw her.
(flashback to the past)
Stan: I think I'm in love with you!
Joan: Well, isn't that sweet.
Stan: You want to go out? Right now?
Joan: Wait.... are you the fellow who's supposed to be dating Betty?
Stan: Who?
I never actually met Betty. In a short time, Joanie and I were going steady. One of our favourite places to go was the beach. We loved the beach. Finally after a couple of dates, we just knew we were going to get married.
Here is the problem: Technically, Joanie was still married to someone else.
-----------------------
Later
Stan: Mum, Dad. This is Joanie.... My Wife.
Mum: Welcome to the family ! I always wanted a daughter!
Dad (to Stan): Good job son, she's gorgeous.
--------
Stan met Joanie in 1947 and he fell in love with her instantly. They had been married for 70 years, before Joanie died. I cannot fathom the hurt Stan may be feeling right now, but the fact he had 70 years with his dream girl has got to be amazing.
This episode didn't recommend any additional information to read about Stan Lee.
