Description
Now back in print and timed for its 50th anniversary—the landmark book Origins of Marvel Comics by Stan Lee!
A deluxe, collector’s edition of the original Origins of Marvel Comics including a new cover, essays, and more. Originally published in 1974, Origins of Marvel Comics features the first appearance of characters who have dominated the pantheon of Marvel’s modern storytelling mythology—Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Thor, and Doctor Strange—along with a second Silver Age tale featuring these special heroes, all hand-picked and introduced by the one and only Stan Lee.
This collection serves as an essential showcase for writers and artists such as Stan himself, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita, and Marie Severin. Whether viewed as a historical artefact that launched an industry of presenting Marvel Comics to a broad audience of fans or a collection of the best in Silver Age comics by many of the greatest creators to ever put pencil to paper, Origins of Marvel Comics highlights both the lasting greatness of these iconic characters as well as the monumental contributions of the talented creators who launched an entire storytelling universe.

About the Author
Stan Lee (1922–2018) began his long career with wartime Timely Comics, but “the Man” made comic book history with Fantastic Four #1, harbinger of a bold new perspective in comic book writing that endures to this day. With some of the industry’s greatest artists, he introduced hero after hero in The Incredible Hulk, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Uncanny X-Men, and more, forming a shared universe for rival publishers to measure themselves against. After a lifetime’s worth of writing and editing, Lee was involved in movies and television via his company POW! Entertainment. He was Marvel’s chairman emeritus and best-known public representative.
Chris Ryall is the cofounder and publisher at Syzygy Publishing, an imprint at Image Comics, that launched in January 2022. He is also the writer and cocreator of Syzygy titles such as The Hollows and Tales of Syzpense. He has worked with creators Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez, licensors such as Hasbro, Nickelodeon, Disney, and many more. In addition to Syzygy Publishing, Ryall is an EP on several upcoming series for BBC Studios and Paramount. Follow him on X @Chris_Ryall.
