Publisher Marketing: Stan Lee (1922-2018) began his long career with wartime Timely Comics, but "the Man" made comic book history with Fantastic Four #1 , harbinger of a bold new perspective in comic book writing that endures to this day. With some of the industry's greatest artists, he introduced hero after hero in The Incredible Hulk , The Amazing Spider-Man , The Uncanny X-Men , and more, forming a shared universe for rival publishers to measure themselves against. After a lifetime's worth of writing and editing, Lee was involved in movies and television via his company POW! Entertainment. He was Marvel's chairman emeritus and best-known public representative. Publisher Marketing : Now back in print and timed for its 50th anniversary--the landmark book Origins of Marvel Comics by Stan Lee!
