Excellent, beautiful, funny graphic novel about Stan Lee, illustrator, storyteller, creator, author, trailblazer.
The illustrations in this book are outstanding! He tells his life story with self jabbing humor and astonishment that he got to meet so many "famous people" along his journey.
This is a winner folks!

I was glad that this book wasn't a hagiography. Also, it was less biographical than I expected.

É sempre interessante saber o inicio de alho tão grandioso.
E aqui, não foi diferente... A questão da humanização dos heróis da Marvel nunca fez tanto sentido. Senhor Lee era um sonhador e realizador e tanto!

all this gave me was a desire to read a well-researched nonfiction book about the history of comics and the rise of Marvel from page to screen

Super short. If you like comics it is a great history of the medium.

Truly marvelous! Made me wanna read all the comics, rewatch all the movies and also inspired me to get the hell back on track with my own writing. Loved it with all my heart.

This book is a very short autobiography of Stan Lee (Stanley) Lieber, from his childhood growing up during the Depression to getting a job at Timely comics (later Marvel). As it is a short autobiography, it covers some major highlights, mostly involving the comic characters he worked on, the people he worked with, the war, the love of his life (Joan), and the decisions he made (some bad but many good) that made him a remembered name for many people who read comics (and many who don't).
A few things of note is how he thought that children were smarter than people give them credit for and he fought for comics (and later cartoons) to have complicated story lines and better writing. This decision served Marvel well until today.
The second and perhaps most important thing shows him as a family man. He loved his wife, Joan and daughter very much.
It is a well written graphical autobiography which is a fitting way to read about Stan Lee considering he is synonymous with Marvel Comics.
