Synopsis
Stan Lee is the Marvel Comic genius who 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 growing up in a modest Jewish family in New York, getting his first story published in a magazine when aged 17, his first job as a gofer at Timely Comics (later to become Marvel 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 shortly after and was one of only eight 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 young, people all over the world.
