Stan Lee's Rise and Fall
By Abraham Riesman
The definitive biography of Marvel Comics icon Stan Lee, an artist and entrepreneur who reshaped global pop culture—at a great personal price.
He worked as an executive editor at Marvel for three decades and, in that time, released more internationally recognized intellectual property objects than Walt Disney himself: Spider-Man, the Avengers, the X-Men, the Black Panther, the Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Thor… The list seems endless. Furthermore, his extraordinary marketing skills saved the comic book and superhero industry. Without it, the global entertainment industry would be completely different today—and a lot poorer.
