Stan Lee: How Marvel Changed the World is not just another biography. It is a journey through twentieth century American history, seen through the life of a man who personified the American Dream.This book shows how Stan Leeandrsquo;s life reflects the evolution of American entertainment, society and popular culture throughout the 1900s and beyond. Along the way, bold questions will be asked. Was Stan Lee himself a superhuman creation, just a mask to protect his true, more complicated secret identity? Just like the vibrant panels of the comics he wrote, Leeandrsquo;s life, it seems, is never black and white.Sourced from Leeandrsquo;s own words, this book also includes brand new and exclusive interviews with Marvel comic book creators, for whom Leeandrsquo;s work proved an invaluable inspiration. Upbeat, accessible and fun, this book is told with a glint in the eye and a flair for the theatrical that would make Stan Lee proud.This is a bold celebration of the power of storytelling and a fitting tribute to Stan

Leeandrsquo;s enduring legacy. Excelsior! [Publisher's text].
