The secret story of Marvel Comics. As a group of outcasts created superheroes

In the early 1960s, the Marvel company barely kept afloat presented the world a whole group of superheroes-a fantastic four, Captain America, Spider-Man and X-Men. The characters immediately fell in love with the audience with their versatility - despite their superpowers, they were the most ordinary people, those whom you meet on the street every day. Each of them experienced his drama, fought in his battle, experienced his successes and failures. These heroes became so unexpected for the two -dimensional world of comics that they instantly fell in love with readers for long and many years.
This book is about people who gave the world the legendary superheroes. About a huge corporation, which many years ago dared to challenge the Titan of the DC Comics industry and succeeded. About Martin Goodman, who did not understand anything in the comics and simply wanted to earn as much money as possible. About Stan Lee, who came to the company with a courier, and as a result, became the main person of Marvel. About Jack Kirby, veteran of World War II, who simply wanted to come up with incredible stories, but became a victim of alien greed and was forced to leave the company. And about many other people who have created the universe that we have now. The author was able to talk with all these people and find out their history. Sometimes their views on the same event differ, sometimes they unfold about each other, but all this is the most complete story of a great company that changed two industries - comics and cinema
