Marvel Comics: The Untold Story By: Sean Howe

Very informative book about the history of Marvel.  Marvel was a a juggernaut in the comic book scene many years ago and as of late, even bigger on the motion picture side of the house.  Stan Lee was a visionary and has changed the comic/super hero genre forevermore.

I was never a big "comic book guy", although I encouraged my sons to read them and follow them.  They love them and I am able to always ask them about was in "canon".  

Howe, takes you through the history of Stan Lee and his company and how they changed comic books.  Their rival with DC Comics and how they made it work.
