2,0 de 5 estrelas Hatchet job
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 5 de abril de 2021
Compra verificada
I had high hopes for this book when I purchased it. I had known of the controversies that surrounded Stan Lee’s last years so I had some preconceptions.

Also, I was a huge comics fan of the late ‘70’s and mid 80’s. In the Marvel comics that I read, I had always considered Stan Lee as more than a little hokey with all his catch phrases (i.e, “Excelsior!”). I say this to show that I am not a Lee super fan or an apologist.

The way this book is written with such rancor, I found it to be a tough read.

I believe the author has an axe to grind and it all stems from his anger towards Lee’s ambivalence to his Jewish heritage. This venom is evident throughout the book and it detracts from what should be a good story.

Abraham Riesman, the author, appears to have a good writing style but he lets his bias and animosity get in the way.

2,0 de 5 estrelas Smashing the icon ...
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 17 de dezembro de 2021
Compra verificada
When I was a kid there was a fad for books trashing the reputations of famous people and historical icons.

This is one of those books, digging for dirt under every rock in the life of legend Stan Lee -- a man who was responsible (thanks to his ever-expanding imagination and his easy rapport with artists) for saving the comic book industry from self-destruction and/or boring oblivion.

(Yes, that's an opinion, based on a lifetime of reading comics -- and I stand by it.)

One must admit the book's author, Abraham Riesman, is highly talented and goes about his dreadful mission with vigor. But towards the end of the book I simply burned out on the mass of depressing minutae he included, as well as his failure to find any light or redemption at all for the great creative force-field that was Stan Lee. In Riesman's view, Lee is just a fool, a crook and ultimately a bad man, an exploiter of others, and ever vulnerable to grifters and human parasites who fed on his weaknesses throughout his life.

I agree with many of the criticisms expressed in the other feedbacks on this page. No need to repeat them here.

But in the end, I simply didn't buy Riesman's thesis, despite the voluminous detail he martialed to the task. Overall I felt the book is a cheesy compilation of slanders and rumors -- many libelous -- stories that needed to be proved true and balanced with a more profound journalistic view of Mr. Lee and the world he inhabited.

Finally, for me one of the saddest aspects of this book is way folks I respected have joined the chorus of condemnation against Stan after they read this book. Yes, their mythic hero had fallen. That, somehow, seems to have satisfied their own personal needs more than anything.

1,0 de 5 estrelas Tabloid writing by a hack writer. A complete waste of money.
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 11 de abril de 2021

It is no secret that Stan could be a huckster and likely took more credit than he deserved. It is also true that he changed comic books like no other. "Hit piece" gets tossed around casually these days but that's exactly what this is. The author clearly loathes his subject.

This book contains as much slanted opinion as it does fact. When the author has no proof, he simply doubles down. Stan was no saint, like the rest of us, but he is portrayed in a despicable light in this tabloid style read. We get it- you love Jack Kirby and hate Stan Lee. We also get that you're a hack writer with no future.

Personally, I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. There's no way Stan created everything, nor is there any chance it was all Kirby and Ditko. Sadly, all are gone and we'll never really know.

Avoid this book. It's garbage.

1,0 de 5 estrelas A true hit piece
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 5 de março de 2021

This book is a debacle. So Jack Kirby made all the characters? But yet never made anything of importance without Stan. The author glosses over the details of when characters were developed & refrains from telling how many were made when Kirby had already left Marvel. The author wants you to believe that the head editor & 1 of the main writer's at Marvel just leeches off everyone...BS

1,0 de 5 estrelas Expected objective narrative, got an obvious hatchet job.
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 28 de fevereiro de 2021

I did NOT like this book. I was anticipating an objective, fact-based narrative that was going to shine an unfavorable light on the the legacy of Stan Lee... but this was nothing more than a hatchet job, pure and simple. I have read many articles by this author and enjoyed them, but not this (his first) book. Extensively researched to find "facts" that in reality could be interpreted, understood and presented in many different ways. As evidenced by the many, many uses of "may be" "might have" "possibly" "could have" "possibly" etc. An awful lot of he said/he said followed up by the author's snarky, sarcastic, opinions obviously giving the benefit of the doubt to one side and purposefully disparaging and attacking his subject. And if I had a nickel for every time the author pointed out someone was a Jew I would have a refund on my purchase price. UGH! Deserving of zero stars. Two thumbs down.

2,0 de 5 estrelas Kinda Mean, To Be Honest
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 20 de março de 2021
Compra verificada
True Believers won’t find much new in this book. The history of the early days of Marvel are not as clean as the legend, but ultimately sorta par for the course. Yet, the author treats Stan like some evil dope instead of just a guy. I ended up having more empathy for Stan after reading this book, in no small part because the author has an ax to grind.

I can’t recommend this book because the editorializing from the author is so obvious. There is a real anger here that seems misplaced.

4,0 de 5 estrelas Last part of the book is shocking. Poor Stan. RIP
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 2 de julho de 2021

I disagree with the people who say this is a hatchet job. Much of this information has been out there before, so I don’t get the anger at the writer. It’s common knowledge he didn’t treat Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko very well for instance. Also common knowledge some of his later ventures were shaky. To me the “new” revelations are about the horrible way people around Stan exploited and abused him at the end of his days. A plethora of shady characters including his own wretched daughter JC, whom I hope gets her karma eventually. Stan himself predicted she’d run through his money and end up homeless after he passed, here’s hoping that happens soon. Meeting Stan (albeit briefly) was one of the highlights of my life. RIP Stan, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko.

5,0 de 5 estrelas Hard truth confirmed
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 4 de outubro de 2021
Compra verificada
For those trashing the book as an attack on Lee, sorry, but the truth hurts sometimes. The issues the book deals with regarding Lee and his conflicts with Kirby, Ditko, etc. have already been established and known about by those in the comics field, long before the MCU grew into the cultural phenomena it is today. I have been collecting comic books for 45 years and have followed the stories at Marvel and about Lee throughout that time. What the author has done is to codify all of the information (good and bad) for clarity. Ultimately Lee was not the man he portrayed himself to be. Rather he was a flawed human being (like all of us) who also had some endearing traits. Worth a read if you want to know the truth about Lee and the Marvel experience.

3,0 de 5 estrelas New info but with a contentious POV
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 29 de abril de 2021
Compra verificada
Good amount of information I wasn't aware of previously. His primary conceit that since Stan wasn't forthright about anything, or misremembered, or lied in any instance, then every other statement he made is probably false creates the feeling that the author has an agenda. I live Kirby's work, and he deserved better. But his own exaggerations and misstatements shouldn't cast doubt on everything he ever said. We won't know the whole story at this point, and learning how Stan would shape the narrative helps in furthering my understanding of a creator of work I put a lot of value in. So it is worthwhile if aggravating at points.

5,0 de 5 estrelas Biggest Artistic Theft of the 20th Century
Avaliado nos Estados Unidos em 19 de março de 2021

Extremely well-researched and well-written biography. It is balanced in that it portrays Lee’s strengths (e.g. editor, pitchman) and weaknesses (credit-hog). It is interesting to read how Lee’s various stories about what he did and didn’t do have changed repeatedly over many decades. It’s unfortunate that Lee’s throngs of juvenile cultists are so unwilling to accept a series of objective facts that portray him in a less than heroic light. George Washington’s fans must have reacted similarly when confronted with the documented fact that he did not chop down a cherry tree. In like manner, to this day, JFK’s fans try to deny his serial adulteries. Reisman’s Lee bio is well worth a read. Consider the objective facts and then form your own opinion.
