    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    Stan Lee is a man who needs no introduction. Nevertheless: Having begun his career with wartime Timely Comics and staying the course throughout the Atlas era, Stan the Man made comic-book history with Fantastic Four #1, harbinger of a bold new perspective in story writing that endures to this day. With some of the industry’s greatest artists, he introduced hero after hero in Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men and more — forming a shared universe for rival publishers to measure themselves against. After an almost literal lifetime of writing and editing, Lee entered new entertainment fields and earned Marvel one opportunity after another. He remains one of Marvel’s best-known public representatives.

    -----------------

    Stanley Martin Lieber (Manhattan, Nueva York; 28 de diciembre de 1922 - Los Ángeles, California; 12 de noviembre de 2018), más conocido como Stan Lee, fue un escritor y editor de cómics estadounidense, además de productor y ocasional actor de cine. Es principalmente conocido por haber creado personajes icónicos del mundo del cómic tales como Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman, los 4 Fantásticos, Thor, los Vengadores, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, X-Men y Bruja escarlata, entre otros muchos superhéroes, casi siempre acompañado de los dibujantes Steve Ditko y Jack Kirby. El trabajo de Stan Lee fue fundamental para expandir Marvel Comics, llevándola de ser una pequeña casa publicitaria a una gran corporación multimedia. Todavía hoy, los cómics de Marvel se distinguen por indicar siempre «Stan Lee presenta» en los rótulos de presentación. También tuvo un programa televisivo en History Channel en donde buscaba superhumanos "reales".

No words could describe the amount of conversation that takes place between me and my son about our fav Marvel heroes and sheroes. Yes, I said shero’s because women are heroes too; ask my son’s mom.That said…what we have here are (448) pages of endless convos, debates, and sheer good memories.A comprehensive and very deep comprehensive encyclopedia designed to be engaging and fluid in itsRepresentation of the Marvel universe. The pages are ‘highly’ illustrated and also packed w/ character backstories & more. You feel the history in the palm of your hands and that’s what makes the desire to own this piece of history more important.If you’re genuinely a Marvel fan, it would be a mistake not to own this Stan Lee tried & true classic treasure. I seriously recommend picking one up before publication comes to an end.

This is one of the coolest books I've ever seen. Its also HUGE. I didn't expect this high of a quality item when I purchased it. There is so much information in this book on practically any character you can think of. I bought this for my son, but can't help but to steal it. This is perfect for anyone interested in Marvel.

Purchased for my 7 year old son and he really does like it. The book looks great and has tons of great Marvel Hero information. In my case, I wish there was a softcover option. The hardcover is really big and heavy for my son and after heavy use, the binding is starting to give way due to the stress of him opening it often but not being able to hold it properly due to the weight. It would be nice to have a softcover option like you see with the Pokemon encyclopedias.
