pickStan Lee's great tragedy was always wanting more while failing to recognize what he was actually good at. He wanted so badly to become a Hollywood mogul when he was best suited to promoting comics. Riesman's writing is clear and focused, never spending too long on any given scene, connecting everything with great transitions.
Brought Stan with me to his native NYC. I'm just getting to the juicy stuff: Marvel's creative explosion in the '60s and Stan's pathological need to claim credit for it.
I don't read a ton of bios, but I'm fascinated by the history of comics, and Riesman's writing is fantastic. Also, Stan Lee attended DeWitt Clinton High School in the Bronx at the same time as my grandpa.
#OnThisDay in 1962 Marvel Comics published the first issue of The Incredible Hulk. Originally, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby designed Hulk with grey skin, but throughout the colouring and printing process more green shades came out, and slowly over the years he became the vibrant green we associate with the character today. #HistoryGetsLIT
