A MARVELOUS LIFE AMAZING STORY STAN LEE HC

(W) Danny Fingeroth

Stan Lee co-created Spider-Man! And Iron Man! And the Hulk! And the X-Men! And more than 500 other iconic characters! His name has appeared on more than a billion comic books, in 75 countries, in 25 languages. His superheroes have starred in multibillion-dollar grossing movies and TV series. This is the story of how Stanley Martin Lieber, a poor kid from Washington Heights became Stan Lee, international legend. Danny Fingeroth (comics industry veteran, author, and longtime Stan Lee friend and colleague) writes a comprehensive biography of this powerhouse of ideas who changed the world's understanding of what a hero is and how a story should be told, while exploring Lee's unique path to becoming the face of comics.

HAIL TO THE CHIN FURTHER CONFESSIONS OF A B MOVIE ACTOR SC

(W) Bruce Campbell

Hail to the Chin is the new raucous and sardonic memoir from Bruce Campbell, a follow-up to the bestselling If Chins Could Kill. It's been 15 years since his first memoir but Bruce is still living the dream as a "B" movie king in an "A" movie world. Bruce covers the professional and the personal with stories about his quickly canceled series Jack of All Trades, working on Sci-Fi Channel movies in Bulgaria and playing Santa Claus and Ronald Reagan as well as his move from Los Angeles to Oregon where he distills lavender and joins the local Elks club. And now in this updated paperback, Bruce shares brand new stories from his life since the hardcover's publication, including a requiem of Ash and details from his European book tour. With an introduction by New York Times bestselling author and famous minor television personality John Hodgman.
