Amis éclairés, voilà un gros morceau! L''histoire presque vraie de Stan Lee: un mastodonte extravagant qui a exigé près de dix années de travail, consacré au seul et unique parrain des comics. Depuis son enfance new-yorkaise en pleine Grande Dépression, pendant l''aventure qui transforma Marvel en éditeur de comics numéro un dans le monde et jusqu''à sa réinvention, dans les années 2000, en tant que directeur de la création de la société internationale de divertissement POW! Entertainment, Stan «the Man» Lee a résisté à l''épreuve du temps et demeure une légende dans l''histoire des comics. Stanley Lieber fait ses premières armes chez Timely Comics en 1940 à tout juste 17 ans, et se retrouve propulsé au sommet de la hiérarchie seulement deux ans plus tard. Ce n''en qu''en 1961 qu''il déclenche une révolution dans les comics, baptisée plus tard du nom d''«ère Marvel». En collaboration avec un bataillon d''artistes légendaires parmi lesquels Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita et Jim Steranko, Stan a débridé une cascade étourdissante de personnages qui ont depuis accédé au rang d''icône des comics -- les Quatre Fantastiques, Hulk, Spiderman, Thor, Iron Man, les X-Men et les Avengers, pour ne citer qu''eux. En 1980, il déménage à Hollywood et poursuit l''aventure, en développant des projets télévisuels et cinématographique qui formeront les fondations des «films Marvel». La participation constante de Stan à ces événement mondiaux de plusieurs milliards de dollars témoigne de son influence. À la tête de POW! Entertainment, il est devenu un maître ès médias, travaillant tour à tour avec des rock stars, des ligues sportives, des magnats du cinéma ou des producteurs de télé-réalité, une polyvalence qui étoffe encore sa stature dans le monde entier.Publié à l''origine en une Édition collector signée qui fut épuisée en une semaine, l''ouvrage a été écrit et édité avec l''entière coopération de Lee. Son histoire racontée par son successeur chez Marvel, le fameux auteur, éditeur et historien des comics Roy Thomas, qui y apporte des éclairages de première main et aborde avec une absolue clairvoyance les moments clés du parcours de Lee vers l''immortalité pop culturelle. Avec ses centaines de trésors de l''art des comics, une sélection de photos intimes puisées dans ses archives familiales, un avant-propos rédigé par Lee en personne, un essai aux airs de roman et un épilogue inédit signés Roy Thomas, un coffret protecteur et un livret complémentaire contenant les rééditions complètes des comics de Stan produits durant des décennies, ce livre est un hommage titanesque digne de son sujet, par son poids comme sa carrure.Publié à l''origine en Édition collector signée, désormais disponible en édition courante et illimitée XXL Tous les personnages Marvel sont © MARVEL
