X-Men: The Hidden Years Omnibus (Hardback)

Perhaps more than any other figure of the modern era, comic book editor and writer Stan Lee intuitively understood myth: through characters such as the Hulk, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four and his beloved Spider-Man, he took the established archetype of the superhero and injected real-world vulnerability. The creative powerhouse behind Marvel Comics, Lee masterfully paired characters to artistic creators, evolving a universe and a graphic language that has shaped comics - and entertainment generally - across the entire world.
