Stan-hattan Project

Stan-hattan Project

"The Stan-hattan Project" was a writing workshop conducted as a joint venture by Marvel Comics and New York University (NYU)'s Department of Dramatic Writing between 1995 and 1996.

The project was an attempt to develop new writing talent for the comic book publisher and to provide practical training and professional opportunities for students at the university.

Graduates of the program were given access to Marvel Comics staff and the chance to see some of their work published.

The program was overseen by then Marvel editor James Felder.

NYU students involved in the project who went on to become comic book professionals include Joe Kelly, Brian K. Vaughan and Ben Raab.

The name of the project comes from a combination of the name of Marvel Comics' legendary founder Stan Lee and the Manhattan Project, the World War II program which developed the first atomic bomb.
