About this title

About the Author:

Stan Lee is the co-creator of the most beloved characters in the history of comics, including Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, and many others. He is also the author of Stan Lee's Riftworld: Odyssey, and the editor of The Ultimate Spider-Man, The Ultimate Super-Villains, The Ultimate Silver Surfer, and The Ultimate X-Men, all from Boulevard.

From Booklist:

Following the lead of recent Superman and Batman "biographies," Marvel Comics mastermind Stan Lee offers a kitschy collection relating the background of the star-traveling superhero, the Silver Surfer, whom Lee cocreated. Quite an assortment of authors, beginning with Lee himself, turn back to the Surfer's beginnings as Norrin Radd on the idyllic planet Zenn-La and his fateful meeting with the world-devouring bully Galactus. To save his home from inevitable destruction, Norrin makes an unholy pact to find other planets for Galactus' feasting, for which function Norrin is granted a new, indestructible silver form and a faster-than-light board for riding the interstellar surf. When Norrin discovers Earth, he is again compelled to undertake worldsaving; with assistance from the Fantastic Four, he turns Galactus away but is permanently banished to the planet he saved. Although the collection's comic-book flavor may limit its appeal, comics fans will be delighted to see a favorite superhero elevated to the "legitimacy" of prose. Carl Hays
