Comic books and superhero stories mirror essential societal values and beliefs. We can be Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider-Man, Black Panther or Rocket Raccoon through our everyday choices. We can't fly, fix hyper drives or hear human heartbeats a mile away, but we can think about what Matt Murdock would do in a conflict, how Superman would respond to natural disasters and how Captain America would handle humanitarian crises. This book analyzes the impact of dozens of comics by examining the noble personalities, traits and actions of the main characters. Chapters detail how superheroes, comic books and other pop culture phenomena offer more than pure entertainment, and how we can better model ourselves after our favorite heroes. Through our good deeds, quick thinking and positive choices, we can become more like superheroes than we ever imagined.

Stan Lee invented SPIDER-MAN! And IRON MAN! And the HULK! And the X-MEN! And more than 500 other iconic characters! His name has appeared on more than a billion comic books, in 75 countries, in 25 languages. His creations have starred in multibillion-dollar grossing movies and TV series. This is his story. Danny Fingeroth writes a comprehensive biography of this powerhouse of ideas who changed the world’s understanding of what a hero is and how a story should be told, while exploring Lee's unique path to becoming the face of comics. With behind-the-scenes stories and interviews with Stan’s brother Larry Lieber and other industry legends, The Marvelous Life has insights that only an insider like Fingeroth can offer. Fingeroth, himself a longtime writer and editor at Marvel Comics and now a lauded pop culture critic and historian, knew and worked with Stan Lee for over three decades. Due to this connection, Fingeroth is able to put Lee’s life and work in a context that makes events and actions come to life as no other writer could.

Chris Murray reveals the largely unknown and rather surprising history of the British superhero. It is often thought that Britain did not have its own superheroes, yet Murray demonstrates that there were a great many in Britain and that they were often used as a way to comment on the relationship between Britain and America. Sometimes they emulated the style of American comics, but they also frequently became sites of resistance to perceived American political and cultural hegemony, drawing upon satire and parody as a means of critique. Murray illustrates that the superhero genre is a blend of several influences, and that in British comics these influences were quite different from those in America, resulting in some contrasting approaches to the figure of the superhero. He identifies the origins of the superhero and supervillain in nineteenth-century popular culture such as the penny dreadfuls and boys' weeklies and in science fiction writing of the 1920s and 1930s. He traces the emergence of British superheroes in the 1940s, the advent of "fake" American comics, and the reformatting of reprinted material. Murray then chronicles the British Invasion of the 1980s and the pivotal roles in American superhero comics and film production held by British artists today. This book will challenge views about British superheroes and the comics creators who fashioned them. Murray brings to light a gallery of such comics heroes as the Amazing Mr X, Powerman, Streamline, Captain Zenith, Electroman, Mr Apollo, Masterman, Captain Universe, Marvelman, Kelly's Eye, Steel Claw, the Purple Hood, Captain Britain, Supercats, Bananaman, Paradax, Jack Staff, and SuperBob. He reminds us of the significance of many such creators and artists as Len Fullerton, Jock McCail, Jack Glass, Denis Gifford, Bob Monkhouse, Dennis M. Reader, Mick Anglo, Brendan McCarthy, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison, Dave Gibbons, and Mark Millar.

The most famous of all the Green Lanterns, Hal Jordan put on the Lantern’s ring for the first time in 1959. Reinvented from the original 1940s crime-fighting Green Lantern by John Broome, this new Green Lantern was a science-fiction adventurer. He battled aliens, giant monsters and wealthy sociopaths out to steal his ring, and fended off the efforts of his love, Carol Ferris, to discover his true identity. As the Green Lantern of the Silver Age of comic books, Hal Jordan captured the imagination of a space-minded society of the ’50s and ’60s. GREEN LANTERN: THE SILVER AGE VOLUME 2 collects the adventures of Hal Jordan as he takes on the responsibility of the ring and the lantern in GREEN LANTERN #10-22.

Conheça a história de Stan Lee, o criador de personagens inesquecíveis, como Homem-Aranha e o Incrível Hulk Invencível é a biografia definitiva e sem meias-verdades do icônico artista e empreendedor que redefiniu a cultura pop, tarefa que lhe cobrou um alto custo na vida pessoal. Stan Lee foi editor-chefe da Marvel por três décadas, onde lançou personagens inesquecíveis, como Homem-Aranha, Thor, Pantera Negra, os X-Men, o Incrível Hulk, Homem de Ferro... para citar apenas alguns. Além disso, sua paixão e personalidade extravagante salvaram mais de uma vez a indústria dos quadrinhos da extinção. Contudo, a carreira de Lee foi repleta de fracassos monumentais, controvérsias e inimizades amargas. Lee jamais separou sua vida pessoal da profissional e era especialista em criar uma mitologia em torno de si mesmo. Para traçar um retrato fiel do ser humano por trás do personagem, Abraham Riesman, um dos maiores jornalistas culturais da atualidade, realizou mais de 150 entrevistas e investigou milhares de páginas de arquivos particulares liberados pela primeira vez. Em um texto empolgante, Riesman relata os triunfos e os equívocos da vida de Stan Lee e como, com seu talento — e uma dose generosa de loucura —, ele moldou o mundo pop como o conhecemos.

Nato nel 1922, Stan Lee è stato a capo della Marvel per trent'anni, un'era durante la quale ha lanciato supereroi che ancora oggi sono celebri in ogni angolo del pianeta: Spider-Man, gli Avengers, gli X-Men, Black Panther, Hulk, Iron Man, Thor... Grazie al suo genio imprenditoriale, queste creazioni hanno alimentato la fantasia di generazioni di lettori e hanno ridisegnato il mercato editoriale, cinematografico, televisivo e videoludico degli ultimi decenni. Dietro i successi di Lee, però, si nascondono le annose dispute con gli autori ai quali ha sottratto idee e intuizioni, dalla contesa con Steve Ditko sulla creazione di Spider-Man a quella con Jack Kirby su molti personaggi chiave nell'universo Marvel. Senza contare iniziative fallimentari e fraudolente come Stan Lee Media e POW! Entertainment o i misteriosi ultimi anni della sua vita, durante i quali - rimasto vedovo e solo - sarebbe stato manipolato da una serie di personaggi a dir poco discutibili. In questa avvincente biografia, la giornalista Abraham Josephine Riesman rivela i retroscena di un'esistenza incredibile e piena di zone d'ombra, quella di un titano della cultura pop, l'uomo che ha contribuito a creare (e a mettere a rischio) uno dei più grandi e redditizi imperi multimediali nella storia dell'intrattenimento: il mondo di supereroi alla base del Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Today, Churubusco is a residential suburb of Mexico City. In 1847, it was the stronghold of the San Patricios, a motley battalion of soldiers ― even some runaway American slaves ― who deserted the United States Army for a just, if suicidal, cause. In this graphic novel, Ferraris uses a bold charcoal technique to tell their story through the eyes of Gaetano Rizzo (based on a real U.S. soldier). A 22-year-old Sicilian immigrant, he joins the U.S. Army, who has promised him citizenship and a parcel of land if he will fight to take California away from Mexico. Soon, he sees sees the cruelty he is being ordered to inflict is no different from what he had escaped from in his home country.

STAN LEE minden idők leghíresebb és legsikeresebb amerikai képregényalkotója volt, fantasztikus karrierjét azonban konfliktusok és ellentmondások jellemezték. Tényleg ő lett volna a legkreatívabb elme? Vagy csak szerencsés és nem különösebben tehetséges potyautas volt, aki ahhoz értett, hogy jól helyezkedjen és lenyúlja mások ötleteit? Vagy valami egészen másról szólna a történet? Danny Fingeroth a Marvel Comics írójaként és szerkesztőjeként több mint 40 éven át dolgozott közvetlen munkatársaként, így valódi bennfentesnek számít. Egyedülálló könyvéből nemcsak Stan Leet, a képregényalkotót, porondmestert, üzletembert, kreatív szellemet, médiasztárt és látnokot ismerhetjük meg, hanem a Marvel és a szuperhősök eredettörténetét is. A Hihetetlen Stan Lee – A Marvel igazi szuperhőse az első olyan átfogó életrajz Stan Leeről – a Pókember, a Bosszúállók, az X-¬Men és az Ezüst Utazó megálmodójáról –, amelyben a szerző olyan egyedi kontextusba helyezi Lee életét és munkásságát, amelyre egyetlen másik író sem lenne képes.
