Initially released in a very limited signed edition
of 1,000 copies, this latest packed volume features a
new foreword by Stan fronting Thomas’ in-depth biography, with “complete
facsimile comicbook reprints of Stan’s greatest hits and coveted rarities from
throughout the decades (at original size) tipped-in throughout the book. This
edition also includes a separately bound reissue of Stan Lee’s 1947 Secrets Behind the Comics!”,
in addition to the main substance of the book (as illustrated here).
Printed
on archival paper and housed in a clear acrylic slipcase – and displaying “more
than 1,000 images, including intimate photographs and artifacts from Stan and
Joan Lee’s personal archives, with new reproductions of original art and rare
comicbooks from the vaults of the world’s premier Marvel collectors” (using a
couple of scans from my own collection) – this will soon be available directly
from Taschen Books at a cost of £1,100.
A standard trade edition will follow once this limited edition has sold out.
