About the book: 2019 / This book is about the people who gave the world legendary superheroes. About a huge corporation that many years ago dared to challenge the titan of the industry DC Comics and succeeded. About Martin Goodman, who knew nothing about comics and just wanted to make as much money as possible. About Stan Lee, who came to the company as a courier and eventually became the main face of Marvel. About Jack Kirby, a World War II veteran who just wanted to make up incredible stories, but became a victim of someone else's greed and was forced to leave the company. And about many other people who created the universe we have now. The author was able to talk to all these people and learn their story. Sometimes their views on the same event differ, sometimes they speak unflatteringly about each other, but all this is the most complete history of a great company that changed two industries at once - comics and cinema.
