"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. This is Stan Lee's. As a kid, Stan escaped his family's tiny New York apartment through tales of adventure, monsters, and magic. It wasn't long until he was crafting his own stories, writing comics professionally when he was still just a teenager! But then Stan started to notice that the heroes were always the same: strong, perfect, and boring. His new mission was to find the secret ingredient for a new kind of superhero. Discover more about the man who showed that anyone could be a hero in this vibrant introduction."--Dust jacket flap.
