As one might expect from a tribute collection, "Stan Lee Meets" is uneven. More so here, as the contents are made out of three types of stories:
1. Lee penning his own encounters with five of his creations (Spider-Man, Doctor Strange, The Thing, Doctor Doom and Silver Surfer, respectively), played for pure comedy.
2. Tribute stories of Lee's importance, either to the Marvel characters themselves, to the fans, to the comic book medium and industry, or to the later generations of creations. These are written by others, though the line between them and Lee's contributions sometimes get hazy, as several choose to have Lee appear and interact with the characters in much the way Lee's own stories do. Some of these are going for humour, others for pathos (and a few, perhaps, both).
3. Five classic issues of Lee's stories with the five characters listed above. These are not played for comedic effect at all, and at several times juxtaposed nicely with the traits Lee plays for laughs in the stories from category 1, such as Silver Surfer's overly philosophic and verbose nature, or The Thing's struggles with his identity, looks and powers. (For this reason, I'd argue they should have come before their counterparts, not after, but oh well.)

There is also a charming interview with Lee in the back of the book, done in relation to the miniseries' original release. All in all, it's a fun collection, clearly aimed at a specific kind of audience. That said, unfortunately, for our tastes, many of the comedic stories weren't all that funny, and the serious stories -- while quite decent -- can't help but largely seem a bit too dated when placed next to the modern satires and tributes. The funniest story by far to both our tastes was Lee's meeting with Spider-Man, which starts out the collection. Sadly, that sort of made most of what followed seem a bit underwhelming by comparison (though some of it was quite good). ( )
