1st drawing of Stan Lee in a comic?

0

I just saw this house ad in my copy of Kid Movie Comics 11 from 1946.

Is that drawing supposed to be Stan Lee at the top? He was the editor of this comic. At the bottom it even says to send in the Coupon to Stan Lee.

It got me wondering if this is the 1st drawing of Stan in a comic? When is the 1st drawing of Jack Kirby in a comic?

The funny animal artists were managed more loosely and their comics contain a number of caricatures of Timely artists and staffers so it's likely Stan.

It's also possible that Stan was caricatured earlier. I recall reading a partial listing of caricatures in Comic Book Marketplace or Alter Ego but don't know the exact issue.

Kirby at the far right...Joe Simon is the tall fellow 2nd from the left

Margie Comics (#36) June 1947.

Margie Comics (#36) June 1947.

 

Classic full story. Stan take the teen age Margie to a night club where she embassases him by swooning over celebrities. I had him sign one many years ago and he had forgotton about it. I've always been surprised it wasn't noted in Overstreet.

It was probably Captain America Comics #16 (July, 1942):

Good find.  I don't know that it looks much like Stan, but the intent is that it's a caricature of him.
