Now on sale at your local friendly comicbook store is this great new 'graphic memoir' by STAN LEE, PETER DAVID and COLLEEN DORAN, all about Mr. MARVEL himself, Stan 'the Man'.  Recounting major flashpoints of his life and career, it doesn't shy away from some of the more personal aspects of his past, as touchingly portrayed in the page below.

There are some great classic covers incorporated into the pictorial narrative, and Stan's collaborators receive generous coverage as well.  If you're a fan of Stan Lee, you won't want to see this book sitting on a shop shelf when you can liberate it for a paltry amount and take it home with you to live happily ever after.  Run along to your local comics shop and buy a copy right away.  You'll be glad you did.  (And so will Stan.)  Go on - make yours Marvel today!
