Recognized as a dazzling writer, a skilled editor, a relentless self-promoter, a credit hog, and a huckster, Stan Lee rose from his humble beginnings to ride the wave of the 1940s comics books boom and witness the current motion picture madness and comic industry woes. Included is a complete examination of the rise of Marvel Comics, Lee’s work in the years of postwar prosperity, and his efforts in the 1960s to revitalize the medium after it had grown stale.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRead more about \u003cb\u003eStan Lee and the Rise and Fall of the American Comic Book\u003c\/b\u003e at \u0026lt;A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.stanleebook.com\/index.html\"\u0026gt;www.stanleebook.com\u0026lt;\/A\u0026gt;.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJordan Raphael\u003c\/b\u003e has written for numerous publications, including \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Globe and Mail\u003c\/i\u003e.
