Böcker av Stan Lee

The House of Ideas is proud to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Daredevil with an Omnibus collecting every Marvel comic released during the month of his debut! DAREDEVIL presented a rougher, grittier take on the super hero concept, with young Matt Murdock growing up on the wrong side of the tracks with a father on the hook with the mob. Stan Lee and Bill Everett crafted a brilliant blend of crime, action and heroics that built the foundation for one of Marvel's greatest characters. But what else was happening that historic month? Marvel boasted a wonderfully engaging mix of romance, teen humor, Westerns and, of course, a growing stable of increasingly interconnected super heroes! Take a trip back to the spinner rack and relive them all!

STAN LEE'S MY OWN EXECUTIVE ABC DOODLE book is back! Or was it ever here in the first place? Written in 1962, this publication is so rare that no one is sure if it ever was released to the general public. Three known copies of it exist, one of which is in Stan Lee's archives, and the others are either survivors of a very small print run or proofs that somehow made it into collectors' hands. Whatever the case, the book is now in print for perhaps the first time. Featuring humorous art and poetry by Marvel's Editor at the time, this book provides insights into his work and creative process during the period where he was looking to branch out his writing into other venues besides comic books. This special Stan Lee Centennial Edition provides a rare glimpse into Stan Lee during the very early days of the Marvel Age of Comics!

He was a man out of time, tormented by the loss of his partner Bucky - but no less committed to the cause of fighting evil in all its forms, including Baron Zemo, M.O.D.O.K., the Super-Adaptoid and his returning archnemesis, the Red Skull!
