If you obsess over every detail in each Marvel Cinematic Universe movie or show - and the people who cameoed in many of them - you owe it to yourself to understand the highs and lows of the real-life stories that laid their foundations.In the early nineteen-forties, decades before he was Stan the Man, the impresario of the Marvel Universe, Stanley Martin Lieber fetched coffee, took notes, and sat on desks playing the piccolo-or perhaps the ocarina-in the offices of his uncle’s comic-book company. If there's one thing I've learned from diving into biographies like Riesman's, it's that the people behind the legends are always more fascinating and complex than the tales they told. And lord knows, we spend way too much time these days completely divorced from reality." "Once you start putting people into those categories, you're really divorcing yourself from reality. "We really run the risk of making the world a worse place when we make real-life people out to be superheroes, whether they're politicians, singers, actors or titans of industry," Riesman said. Ultimately, the author wants this biography to help people accept that ambiguity is "the order of the day" when it comes to Lee or anyone else's life. "I don't think it's nearly as important as looking at the hard facts of his life and impact."
"I don't think you can learn as much from these comics as a lot of people have thought," Riesman said. Riesman opted to focus on the reality of life rather seek any deep autobiographical revelations in the lives of Bruce Banner, Peter Parker or Reed Richards. The Marvel Method also makes it tricky to use the comics to gain insight into Lee, since we don't know how much he contributed to individual issues and story arcs. 1, by Lee and Jack Kirby, kicked off the Marvel Universe as we know it in 1961.
