Synopsis
Stan Lee is the man who through Marvel Comics created "Spider-Man", "The X-Men", and "The Incredible Hulk" among others and has been in the business for over 40 years. This memoir traces Lee's life from grwing up in a modest Jewish family in New York, getting his first story published in a magazine aged 17, his first job as a gofer at Timely Comics where he worked with Jack Kirby and Joe Simon. He was made creative director aged 18 when they left, enlisted when the war broke out and was one of only 8 U.S. Army playwrights alongside such luminaries as Frank Capra. Lee went back to comics after the war as the creative force behind Marvel, selling over two billion comics to young, and not so the young, the world over. This book is packed with never-before-seen photos and artwork from Lee's personal archive and should be of interest to all Marvel fans.
