This is the big one, True Believers! The mostly true tale of Stan Lee: a Giant-Size extravaganza, nearly ten years in the making, about the one and only Godfather of Comics. From his childhood in Depression-era New York, to transforming Marvel into the number one comics publisher in the world, to his 21st-century reinvention as Chief Creative Officer of global entertainment company POW! Entertainment, Stan "the Man" Lee stands the test of time as the most legendary name in comicbook history. Stanley Lieber began working at Timely Comics in 1940 at the age of 17 and found himself at the helm of the bullpen as its top editor just two years later. But it wasn't until 1961 that he ignited a revolution known as the "Marvel Age of Comics." With a legendary stable of art partners including Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita, and Jim Steranko, Lee unleashed a dizzying cascade of seminal comicbook creations-the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers to name a few. After moving to Hollywood in 1980, he did it again, developing TV and film projects that laid the groundwork for the "Marvel movie." Stan's constant cameo presence in these billion-dollar worldwide events is a testament to his influence. As the man behind POW! Entertainment, he became a master of all media-working with rock stars and professional sports leagues, movie mavens and reality TV shows-reinforcing his creative stature the world over.First published as a signed Collector's Edition and sold out within a week, the book was written and edited with Lee himself. His tale is told by his successor at Marvel, renowned comics writer, editor, and historian Roy Thomas, who brings "you are there" insights and wide-eyed clarity to key moments of Lee's journey to pop culture immortality. Featuring hundreds of treasures of comicbook art, intimate photographs sourced straight from his family archives, a foreword written by Lee himself, a novel-length essay and new epilogue by Thomas, and an appendix with complete reprints of Stan's comics from throughout the decades, this is a titanic tribute worthy of the Man.First published as a signed Collector's Edition, now available as an unlimited XXL edition.

He made his debut in late 1940 in Captain America Comics No. 1, fighting Nazis at every turn. Twenty years after World War II, he was found frozen in ice.

A mighty history. Building the House of Ideas. From the very first issue of pulp impresario Martin Goodman s Marvel Comics in 1939, the comic book creators of Marvel s Golden Age flipped the traditional fantasy script by placing the inhuman and the invincible into the real world. With the likes of the fiery android Human Torch, vengeful sea prince Sub-Mariner, and pip-squeak-turned-paragon Captain America, Marvel created a mythological universe grounded in a world that readers recognize as close to their own, brimming with humor and heartache. In the early 1960s, this audacious approach launched the creation of heroes who have since become household names Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, the Avengers, Thor, the X-Men the list goes on. Fans still celebrate it as the Marvel Age of comics, an era populated by a pantheon of bickering heroes, misunderstood monsters, and noble villains. In celebration of Marvel s 75th anniversary, TASCHEN presents a magnum opus of the most influential comic book publisher today, with an inside look not only at its celebrated characters, but also at the "bullpen" of architects whose names are almost as familiar as the protagonists they brought to life Stan the Man Lee, Jack King Kirby, along with a roster of greats like Steve Ditko, John Romita, John Buscema, Marie Severin, and countless others. With essays by comics historian and former Marvel editor-in-chief Roy Thomas, this book delves into the heart of thousands of costumed characters who continue to fight the good fight in comics, movies, and toy aisles of the world. The XL-format book includes: More than 700 pages of near 2,000 images including vintage comic books, one-of-a-kind original art, behind-the-scenes photographs and film stills, as well as rare toys and collectibles. A four-foot accordion-fold timeline, suitable for framing! Biographies of more than 300 artists, writers, editors, and famous fans who helped shape Marvel's history

Tato slova katapultovala svět do víru epického dobrodružství, které dodnes pokračuje v televizi, románech, videohrách a komiksech. Od července 1977 do září 1986 vydával Marvel Comics Group každý měsíc komiksy odehrávající se ve světě nesmírně populárního filmového fenoménu Star Wars. Když se na tehdejší příběhy podíváme s tím, co víme dnes, udeří nás některé "chyby" do očí - jako třeba že jsou Darth Vader a otec Luka Skywalkera dva odlišní lidé. Tehdy ale byla ještě Star Wars galaxie pro tvůrce velkou neznámou. V průběhu let se mnohokrát diskutovalo, jak, kam a jestli vůbec tyto komiksové příběhy zařadit do oficiální Star Wars kontinuity, nikdo však nemůže popřít, že mají své kouzlo a sílu. Představujeme vám prvních dvacet sedm sebraných sešitů marvelovské série Star Wars, která začala vycházet v roce 1977, tedy ve stejném roce, kdy diváci mohli poprvé vidět slavný film George Lucase. A hned na úvod vás čeká komiksová adaptace Nové naděje.
