"Marvel presents the origins and history of its most famous creations, narrated by Stan Lee, that stellar storyteller who saw comics as more than dime-store material and helped turn Marvel''s characters into twentieth-century mythology. Included are the beginnings of The Fantastic Four, which hurled Marvel out of the era of monsters without soul into the age of cosmic heroes; the Hulk, brilliant scientist turned muddled monster; Spider-Man, the teenage super hero known affectionately to aficionados as "Spidey"; Thor, the Norse god with the mystical hammer and the Shakespearean speech pattern; and finally Doctor Strange, the oddball magician who uses his supernatural powers on the side of good. Along with the big full-color stories and first heady inspirations from Stan, this deluxe, expanded fiftieth-anniversary edition features a new introduction and remembrances from the editor of Fireside Books'' deluxe reissues, Chris Ryall, as well as an interview with the original series editor, Linda Sunshine; essays from Marvel executive editor Tom Brevoort and deluxe-edition cover artist Alex Ross, as well as a gallery detailing Ross'' cover process; a remembrance by Mighty Thor co-creator and brother of Stan Lee, Larry Lieber; the re-presentation of author/futurist Ray Bradbury''s original newspaper review of Origins; and an extensive gallery showcasing Origins ads, merchandising, and original art pieces. You will see why, taken as a whole, Origins of Marvel Comics was so influential in launching super hero material into the mass market and beyond. Origins stands alone as one of the great classics--an undying tribute to Marvel mania then and now!"

The second illustrated novel in The Zodiac Legacy series.

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 was the leading creative force behind Marvel Comics, and 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 and twenty-first centuries. In this beautifully illustrated graphic memoir—illustrated by celebrated artist Colleen Doran—discover the true story behind the man, written 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 cinematic resurgence, 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.
