About this listen

Stan Lee - comic book legend and cocreator of Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Avengers, the Incredible Hulk, and a legion of other Marvel superheroes - shares his iconic legacy and the story of how modern comics came to be.

Stan Lee is a man who needs no introduction. 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 possess previously unseen psychological complexity - have added wit and subtlety to a field previously locked into flat portrayals of good versus evil. Lee put the human in superhuman and in doing so created a new mythology for the 20th century.

Stan Lee tells the story of his life with the same inimitable wit, energy, and offbeat spirit that he brought to the world of comics. Moving from his impoverished childhood in Manhattan to his early days writing comics, through his military training films during World War II and the rise of the Marvel empire in the 1960s to the current resurgence in movies, Amazing Fantastic Incredible documents the life of a man and the legacy of an industry and career.

Funny, moving, and incredibly honest, this beautiful memoir is a must-have for collectors and fans of comic books and graphic novels of every age.

First of all, if you love Marvel/Stan Lee, this audio book is a must. It’s astonishing how much material about Stan’s life gets covered in such a short amount of time. Plus, Lee himself narrates the intro!

Second, this is one of the funniest things I’ve listened to in quite some time. Stan Lee always was one of the best showmen in the world and every sentence in this book is polished with his patented charm. Nuff’ said. Beyond highly recommended!

Excelsior!

What a genuine force of creativity, escapism, and capitalism. Had a hard time not tearing up through most of this.

Rest in Peace, Stan The Man

Too funny

Interesting story enthusiastically told. By the end I had forgotten it wasn’t Stan himself reading the tall tale of his ride to Marvel Deity!

Loved it!
