In the early 1960s, a barely afloat company Marvel introduced to the world a whole group of superheroes - the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Spider-Man and the X-Men. The characters immediately fell in love with the audience for their versatility - despite their superpowers, they were the most ordinary people; the ones you meet on the street every day. Each of them experienced his own drama, fought his own battle, experienced his own successes and failures. These characters became so unexpected for the two-dimensional world of comics that they instantly fell in love with readers for many, many years to come. This book is about the people who gave the world legendary superheroes. About a huge corporation that many years ago dared to challenge the titan of the DC Comics industry and succeeded. About Martin Goodman, who didn't know anything about comics and just wanted to make as much money as possible. About Stan Lee, who came to the company as a courier, and eventually became the main face of Marvel. About Jack Kirby, a World War II veteran who just wanted to come up with incredible stories, but fell victim to someone else's greed and was forced to leave the company. And about many other people who created the universe that we have now. The author was able to talk to all these people and learn their history. Sometimes their views on the same event differ, sometimes they speak unflatteringly about each other, but all this is the most complete story of a great company that changed two industries at once - comics and cinema.
