This is the big one, True Believers! The mostly true tale of Stan
Lee: a Giant-Size extravaganza, nearly ten years in the making,
about the one and only Godfather of Comics. From his childhood in
Depression-era New York, to transforming Marvel into the number one
comics publisher in the world, to his 21st-century reinvention as
Chief Creative Officer of global entertainment company POW!
Entertainment, Stan "the Man" Lee stands the test of time as the
most legendary name in comicbook history. Stanley Lieber began
working at Timely Comics in 1940 at the age of 17 and found himself
at the helm of the bullpen as its top editor just two years later.
But it wasn't until 1961 that he ignited a revolution known as the
"Marvel Age of Comics." With a legendary stable of art partners
including Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita, and Jim Steranko,
Lee unleashed a dizzying cascade of seminal comicbook creations-the
Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, and
the Avengers to name a few. After moving to Hollywood in 1980, he
did it again, developing TV and film projects that laid the
groundwork for the "Marvel movie." Stan's constant cameo presence
in these billion-dollar worldwide events is a testament to his
influence. As the man behind POW! Entertainment, he became a master
of all media-working with rock stars and professional sports
leagues, movie mavens and reality TV shows-reinforcing his creative
stature the world over. First published as a signed Collector's
Edition and sold out within a week, the book was written and edited
with Lee himself. His tale is told by his successor at Marvel,
renowned comics writer, editor, and historian Roy Thomas, who
brings "you are there" insights and wide-eyed clarity to key
moments of Lee's journey to pop culture immortality. Featuring
hundreds of treasures of comicbook art, intimate photographs
sourced straight from his family archives, a foreword written by
Lee himself, a novel-length essay and new epilogue by Thomas, and
an appendix with complete reprints of Stan's comics from throughout
the decades, this is a titanic tribute worthy of the Man. First
published as a signed Collector's Edition, now available as an
unlimited XXL edition. All Marvel characters are (c) MARVEL
