The man behind Spider-Man, The X-Men, The Incredible Hulk and a legion of other superheroes tells his own amazing story in a book packed with punch, humour, anecdotes and a gallery of never-before-seen photographs.

Stan Lee is the most legendary name in the history of comic books. The leading creative force behind the rise of Marvel Comics, he brought to life some of the world's best-known heroes and most infamous villains. His stories, featuring superheroes who struggled against personal hang-ups and bad guys who possessed previously unseen psychological complexity, added wit and subtlety to a field previously locked into flat portrayals of good versus evil. Lee put the human in superhuman. In the process, he created a new mythology for the twentieth century.

In this treasure trove of marvellous memories, Stan tells the story of his life with the same inimitable wit, energy and offbeat spirit that he brought to the world of comic books. He moves from his impoverished childhood in Manhattan to his early days writing comic books, followed by military training films during World War II, through the rise of the Marvel empire in the 1960s, to his recent adventures in Hollywood.

The story of a man who earned respect by blazing new creative trails in a storytelling form once dismissed as just for kids, 'Excelsior!' is an inspirational story about following one's vision, no matter what the odds. Yet it's also the story of how some of the most exciting and memorable characters in the pop-culture universe came to thrill a generation.
