In addition to decades of writing scripts for comic books across many genres, like cowboy stories, monster yarns, and teen romances, Lee served as Art Director, head editor, and editorial manager, while also keeping an eye on publication and production details. What many people don’t know about Stan Lee’s career is that he was the heart and soul of Marvel the publishing company, not just a writer as we might think of it today, toiling away in solitude. How do you balance each side’s perspective throughout the development of “Spider-Man” and other Marvel entities? I appreciate the book’s “Spider-Man” journey, especially since Lee developed him after establishing a 20-year career at that point. But, to Spider-Man, such dreams are reality.” “…We all have our hidden daydreams, daydreams in which we’re stronger, swifter, and braver than we really are-than we can ever hope to be. Most readers know about the success, but the journey to that success garners high interest, particularly insight quotes like the following that describe impact beyond pop culture: It was a nice approach and creates a unique tension (e.g. “A victim of his own success, Lee felt the pressure to keep up the momentum.”). I (Tall Writer) was particularly interested in reading about how Stan Lee handled the initial success after so much hard work while respecting and crediting his collaborators, but discovered great insight into his past and quotes from other people in his life.
