Non-Fiction Memoir | Graphic Novel
In this gorgeously illustrated, full-color graphic memoir,
Stan Lee—comic book legend and cocreator of Spider-Man, the
X-Men, the Avengers, the Incredible Hulk, and a legion of
other Marvel superheroes—shares his iconic legacy and the
story of how modern comics came to be. Stan Lee is a man who needs no introduction. The most
legendary name in the history of comic books, he has been
the leading creative force behind Marvel Comics, and has
brought to life—and into the mainstream—some of the world’s
best-known heroes and most infamous villains throughout his
career. His stories—filled with superheroes struggling with
personal hang-ups and bad guys who possessed previously
unseen psychological complexity—added wit and subtlety to a
field previously locked into flat portrayals of good vs.
evil. Lee put the human in superhuman and in doing so,
created a new mythology for the twentieth century. In this beautifully illustrated graphic memoir—illustrated
by celebrated artist Colleen Doran—Lee tells the story of
his life with the same inimitable wit, energy, and offbeat
spirit that he brought to the world of comics. Moving from
his impoverished childhood in Manhattan to his early days
writing comics, through his military training films during
World War II and the rise of the Marvel empire in the 1960s
to the current resurgence in movies, Amazing Fantastic
Incredible documents the life of a man and the legacy of
an industry and career. This funny, moving, and incredibly honest memoir is a
must-have for collectors and fans of comic books and graphic
novels of every age.
