STAN LEE STORY TASCHEN HC (C: 0-1-0)
TASCHEN AMERICA L.L.C.
StockID: 123454 SKU: JUL242084
Stan 'the Man' Lee stands the test of time as the most legendary name in comic book 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.' 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 comic book 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.
