With Great Power: The Marvelous Stan Lee

*Signed Bookplates

Stan Lee didnt have hulking strength. Or fantastic flexibility. Or cat-like reflexes. His superpower was creating heroes who did.

Every superhero has their origin story: a radioactive spider bite turns ordinary teen Peter Parker into Spider-Man, wealthy Tony Stark escapes captivity by building his Iron Man suit, scientist Bruce Banner survives gamma rays only to transform into the Hulk.

For Stan Lee, it was books of adventure, monsters, and magic that helped him transform from an ordinary boy to a superstar superhero creator. At first, reading these stories was a pathway to a world bigger than his familys tiny apartment in New York City, but it wasnt long until Stan was crafting his own stories, creating comics professionally when he was still just a teenager! Still, writing wasnt exciting when the heroes were always the same: strong, perfect, andboring. Stan had a revolutionary idea. What if anyoneeven an ordinary kidcould be a superhero?
