Legendary comic book creator Stan Lee will tell the story of his extraordinary life with the same inimitable energy and offbeat spirit that he brought to the world of comics - in a unique graphic format.
To be published by Simon & Schuster, "Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir" will hit bookstores on October 6.
From the very beginning, working with the great Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, to creating Spider-Man with Steve Ditko, to his most recent cameo in "Avengers: Age of Ultron," fans will read about every aspect of Lee's remarkable career.
"Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir" will be illustrated by celebrated comic book artist Colleen Doran, whom Lee handpicked for this one-of-a-kind project.
Lee helped spawn some of the world's most popular comic book heroes - The Amazing Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and many more.
A simultaneous audio edition will be published by Simon & Schuster Audio besides a deluxe slipcase edition.
"As Marvel just celebrated its 75th anniversary, I thought maybe it's time for a look at my life in the one form it has never been depicted, as a comic book... Or if you prefer, a graphic memoir," says Lee.
"It strikes me as a horrendous oversight that I haven't done it before! If I didn't know everything about my life already, I'd envy your voyage of discovery," he says.
