A shallow skim through the life of Stan Lee that won't add much to the knowledge of faithful comic book fans and that will leave newbies confused with the sprawling mass of barely introduced comic book publishing figures and fictional characters crowded onto the pages.

The art, with it's uninspired layouts, is mostly a string of talking heads where the word balloons sometimes comically overwhelm the stacks of long horizontal panels.

Not as fun as Stan's graphic stuff but interesting.
Desperately trying to catch up on books I've read in 2023, before it turns 2024. Don't think I'll make it. ( )
