Back in the days before World War II, a teenager named Stanley Lieber ran errands in the offices of "Timely Comics". It didn't take long for him to get his name in print and by the time he'd gotten his drivers' license, 'Stan Lee' was running the show as the head writer and editor. In 1961, Fantastic Four numbered 1 hit the stands, featuring realistic heroes who doubted their own abilities, battled problems of money and illness, and even fought among themselves. The success of FF numbered 1 sparked a seemingly unending line of smash-hit titles: "X-Men", "Avengers", "Hulk", and "Amazing Spider-Man". By 1965, Marvel Comics had won the hearts and minds of readers worldwide. In celebration of its 65th anniversary, Marvel Comics pays tribute to 'The Man' himself with this deluxe volume. These tales span from Lee's earliest days in comics to his most recent work, including some stories never before reprinted! Also featuring classic Stan-scripted stories from "Amazing Spider-Man" numbered 87, "Fantastic Four" numbered 79 and 87, "Marvel Premiere" numbered 3, and "Silver Surfer" numbered 14!This title collects "Stan Lee Meets Superheroes" numbered 1-5; "Amazing Spider-Man" numbered 87, "Fantastic Four" numbered 79 and numbered 87, "Marvel Premiere" numbered 3, and "Silver Surfer" numbered 14. |
