Amazing Fantastic Incredible, A marvelous Memoir; Stan Lee

A fitting Graphic Memoir of Stan Lee. I am not a big comic fan, but I really loved this- it surprised me that it took as long to read as a print book- due to really looking at the art. A fun read, it would be a great book to get you out of a funk.
