L'Uomo Ragno, uno dei primi "supereroi con superproblemi" scritto e disegnato dai nomi più prestigiosi del fumetto americano, ha rivoluzionato negli anni '60 il fumetto a stelle e strisce. Con le sue inquietudini di eroe in bilico tra grandezza e nevrosi, Spider-Man riflette nelle sue avventure la sensibilità e gli eventi storici di quattro decenni, riuscendo a sedurre e affascinare i lettori sulle due sponde dell'Oceano.
Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber) was an American writer, editor, creator of comic book superheroes, and the former president and chairman of Marvel Comics.
With several artist co-creators, most notably Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, he co-created Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Thor as a superhero, the X-Men, Iron Man, the Hulk, Daredevil, the Silver Surfer, Dr. Strange, Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scarlet Witch, The Inhumans, and many other characters, introducing complex, naturalistic characters and a thoroughly shared universe into superhero comic books. He subsequently led the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small division of a publishing house to a large multimedia corporation.
