The wit and wisdom of the caliph of comics is on display for all to see in one mighty volume ALL of Stan Lee's groundbreaking, legendary "Stan's Soapbox" columns from 1967 to 1980 are collected for the first time EVER And that's not all Columns are presented in a historical context, so you can immerse yourself in the flavor of the day, and get a sense what was happening right outside Stan's window when he penned 'em. Some are poignant, some informative, some touching, and some funny. But they're all memorable AND a bountiful bevy of celebs also write about their most memorable columns, including: - Marvel Editor in Chief Joe Quesada - X-Men movie producer Tom DeSanto - And a vast variety of great names from the fields of comics, literature, politics and academia
While I loved reading Stan's old Soapboxes (and that is definitely what was advertised), I think I would have preferred a different presentation - perhaps reprintings of Stan's Bullpen Bulletins pages over the years. Seeing it all retyped in nice new fonts as a series of essays, it's okay, but there's something about seeing the original thing on every page. Still, very cool that this was put together and that the proceeds go to a good cause.
