The legendary Stan Lee‘s graphic memoir came out this week. Entitled, Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir, the book tells the 93-year-old comics icon’s life story through illustrations by comics artist Colleen Doran.
Comic book writer Peter David co-wrote the book with Lee. The book tells Lee’s tales from his childhood in New York City and how he became lead writer and editor-in-chief at Marvel Comics during its the 1960s and ’70s to creating Spider-Man with Steve Ditko. Here is more about the book:
The most legendary name in the history of comic books, he has been the leading creative force behind Marvel Comics, and has 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 century.
