FATHER AND SON ISSUES: The Secret History of Spider-Man is the true story of someone with a great power, and a great responsibility. That man, artist John Romita, was the best comics artist no one had ever heard of. After Spider-Man's creators had a falling out, Jazzy John (as Stan Lee called him) had to become the new tale-spinner for the web-spinner.

He didn’t just create superheroes. He created a blueprint for how modern culture thinks about power, pain, identity — and redemption. From Spider-Man’s guilt to the X-Men’s exile, from the pages of pulp comics to billion-dollar movie screens, Stan Lee rewired the mythologies of the modern world. But behind the catchphrases and cameos was a man caught between truth and persona, legacy and loneliness, spotlight and shadow. This book goes beyond the fan letter. It’s a deep-dive into the masks he wore — and the world he left behind.
