This month’s book: With Great Power: The Marvelous Stan Lee by Annie Hunter Eriksen

Every superhero has their origin: a radioactive spider bite turns ordinary teen Peter Parker into Spider-Man; wealthy Tony Stark escapes captivity by building his Iron Man suit; scientist Bruce Banner survives gamma rays only to transform into the Hulk.

For Stan Lee, it was books of adventure, monsters and magic that helped him transform from an ordinary boy to a superstar superhero creator. At first, reading these stories was a pathway to a world bigger than his family’s tiny apartment in New York City, but it was not long until Lee was crafting his own stories, creating comics professionally when he was still just a teenager! Still, writing was not exciting when the heroes were always the strong, perfect and boring. Stan had a revolutionary idea. What if anyone―even an ordinary kid―could be a superhero?

Discover more about the life of the Cameo King, known to many for his appearances in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and how he revolutionized comics with this vibrant introduction bustling with action, humor and references for fans new and old.
