Stan Lee’s Daughter Settles Elder Abuse Lawsuit Against Ex-Manager Accused of Theft

J.C. Lee claimed Max Anderson pushed her father to work tireless hours until months before his death and manipulated him into signing over valuable rights and items.

The daughter of Stan Lee, J.C., has settled a lawsuit against Max Anderson, the comic book legend’s former longtime road manager accused of elder abuse and pilfering tens of millions of dollars in memorabilia, autograph revenue and appearance fees. Over the course of almost a decade, Anderson, who said he didn’t receive monetary compensation for his work and was paid in the form of autographs on collectibles, accompanied Lee to 111 comic book conventions around the world. J.C.’s lawyers have pushed back on that assertion, pointing to a lawsuit he filed over collectibles stolen from his home, including original movie props like Iron Man’s mask, the arm of Nebula from Guardians of the Galaxy and a set of X-23 claws from Logan.
