Marvel Visionaries Stan Lee

Edition excerpt from Marvel Visionaries: Stan Lee (2004): Written by STAN LEE Penciled by STEVE DITKO, JACK KIRBY JOHN ROMITA SR. & MORE In celebration of its 65th anniversary, the House of Ideas proudly presents a timeless testament to another true Marvel visionary! In 1961, writer Stan Lee penned FANTASTIC FOUR #1, an historic issue unlike any comic book that had come before. This super-hero team had true personalities - they doubted their own abilities, battled problems of money and illness, and even fought among themselves. The monumental popularity of this realistic comic-book style inspired Lee to create similarly themed titles - including HULK, X-MEN and AVENGERS with artist Jack Kirby; and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN with artist Steve Ditko. By 1965, Lee had successfully established Marvel Comics as a cohesive universe populated by world-famous comic-book characters. Now, this deluxe keepsake edition collects his greatest moments - some never before reprinted: • 'Captain America Foils the Traitor's Revenge,' CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #3, Stan's first story, a two-page text piece! • 'The Red Skull's Deadly Revenge,' CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #16, t
