A Marvelous Life
Stan Lee invented SPIDER-MAN! And IRON MAN! And the HULK! And the X-MEN! And more than 500 other iconic characters! His name has appeared on more than a billion comic books, in 75 countries, in 25 languages. His creations have starred in multibillion-dollar grossing movies and TV series. This is his story. Danny Fingeroth writes a comprehensive biography of this powerhouse of ideas who changed the world’s understanding of what a hero is and how a story should be told, while exploring Lee's unique path to becoming the face of comics. With behind-the-scenes stories and interviews with Stan’s brother Larry Lieber and other industry legends, The Marvelous Life has insights that only an insider like Fingeroth can offer. Fingeroth, himself a longtime writer and editor at Marvel Comics and now a lauded pop culture critic and historian, knew and worked with Stan Lee for over three decades. Due to this connection, Fingeroth is able to put Lee’s life and work in a context that makes events and actions come to life as no other writer could.

Superman on the Couch
Why are so many of the superhero myths tied up with loss, often violent, of parents or parental figures? What is the significance of the dual identity? What makes some superhuman figures "good" and others "evil"? Why are so many of the prime superheroes white and male? How has the superhero evolved over the course of the 20th and early 21st centuries? And how might the myths be changing? Why is it that the key superhero archetypes - Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, the X-Men - touch primal needs and experiences in everyone? Why has the superhero moved beyond the pages of comics into other media? All these topics, and more, are covered in this lively and original exploration of the reasons why the superhero - in comic books, films, and TV - is such a potent myth for our times and culture.
Summary of Danny Fingeroth's A Marvelous Life
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel, was famous for his high-energy smart aleck attitude. He liked to have fun with his staff, but he was also trying to catch a slightly older audience. He was successful in both regards. #2 Lee was producing a humor magazine called You Don’t Say, which consisted of photos of celebrities of the day, including politicians. The first two issues sold well. The third issue’s cover featured a photo of then-president John F. Kennedy, and Lee wrote, Allow me to introduce myself. #3 Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel, was also a witness to the Beatles phenomenon. The Beatles were a popular rock band that inspired a level of hysteria among their female fans that was unprecedented. #4 Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel Comics, was a pivotal figure in the 1960s. He was helping shape the culture, one superhero adventure at a time, one letter column response at a time, one hyperbolic cover blurb at a time.
