With great power : the marvelous Stan Lee : an unauthorized biography  Cover Image Book Book

With great power : the marvelous Stan Lee : an unauthorized biography / Annie Hunter Eriksen ; illustrated by Lee Gatlin.

Eriksen, Annie Hunter, (author.). Gatlin, Lee, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"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 family's tiny apartment in New York City, but it wasn't long until Stan was crafting his own stories, creating comics professionally when he was still just a teenager! Still, writing wasn't exciting when the heroes were always the same: strong, perfect, and boring. Stan had a revolutionary idea. What if anyone--even an ordinary kid--could be a superhero?"-- Provided by publisher.
