Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir by Stan Lee
4.0
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.
