Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir

Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir

In this gorgeously illustrated, full-color graphic memoir, Stan Leeâ‚¬"comic book legend and cocreator of Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Avengers, the Incredible Hulk, and a legion of other Marvel superheroesâ‚¬"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 lifeâ‚¬"and into the mainstreamâ‚¬"some of the worldâ‚¬s best-known heroes and most infamous villains throughout his career. His storiesâ‚¬"filled with superheroes struggling with personal hang-ups and bad guys who possessed previously unseen psychological complexityâ‚¬"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 memoirâ‚¬"illustrated by celebrated artist Colleen Doranâ‚¬"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.
