The definitive biography of the beloved--often controversial--co-creator of many legendary superheroes, A Marvelous Life: The Amazing Story of Stan Lee presents the origin of "Stan the Man," who spun a storytelling web of comic book heroic adventures into a pop culture phenomenon: the Marvel Universe.
"[Fingeroth's] intimate yet balanced account, highlights Lee's humanity, humor and even humility. But it doesn't ignore how his canny self-promotion at times shortchanged his collaborators and constrained his own choices." --Wall Street JournalStan Lee was the most famous American comic book creator who ever lived. Thanks, especially, to his many cameos in Marvel movies and TV shows, Lee was--and even after his 2018 death, still is--the voice and face of comics and popular culture in general, and Marvel Comics in particular. How he got to that place is a story that has never been fully told--until now.
With creative partners including Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko--with whom he had tempestuous relationships that rivaled any superhero battle--Lee created world-famous characters including Spider-Man, Iron Man, the X-Men, the Avengers, and the Hulk! But Lee's career was haunted by conflict and controversy. Was he the most innovative creator to ever do comics? Was he a lucky no-talent whose only skill was taking credit for others' work? Or was he something else altogether? Danny Fingeroth's A Marvelous Life: The Amazing Story of Stan Lee attempts to answer some of those questions. It is the first comprehensive biography of this powerhouse of ideas who, with his invention of Marvel Comics, changed the world's ideas of what a hero is and how a story should be told. With exclusive interviews with Lee himself, as well as with colleagues, relatives, friends--and detractors--Fingeroth makes a doubly remarkable case for Lee's achievements, while not ignoring the controversies that dogged him his entire life--and even past his death. With unique access to Lee's personal archives at the University of Wyoming, Fingeroth explores never-before-examined aspects of Lee's life and career, and digs under the surface of what people thought they knew about him. Fingeroth, himself a longtime writer and editor at Marvel Comics, and now a lauded pop culture critic and historian, knew and worked with Stan Lee for over four decades. With his unique insights as a comics world insider, Fingeroth is able to put Lee's life and work in a unique context that makes events and actions come to life as no other writer could. Despite F. Scott Fitzgerald's famous warning that "There are no second acts in American lives," Stan Lee created a second act for himself that changed everything for him, his family, his industry, and ultimately for all of popular culture. How he did it--and what it cost him--is a larger-than-life tale of a man who helped create the modern superhero mythology that has become a part of all our lives.

Seat angle problem
Color: Black, Style: Classic
This chair is very good. Has exactly the dimensions I was looking for. Overall it looks very well made, excellent quality, easy to install. I'm not giving it 5 starts because I'm not liking the angle of the seat very much. It goes low at the back end and at the front it is very high. It feels really good when I'm working on my computer where I have 1 widescreen monitor with 2 smaller ones on top, so it is very comfortable there. But not so much when I'm just working on my desk filling forms and reading papers. I'm actually getting low back pain. I wrote the seller to ask if there is any kind of adjustment I can make but it doesn't look to me like there is anything than can be done. I'm still keeping it.

Most comfortable office chair this fluffy guy has ever sat in.
Color: Black, Style: Classic
This chair is incredibly comfortable—easily the most comfortable one I’ve ever sat in. At around 300lbs, I’ve struggled to find a chair that’s both supportive and spacious. Most options feel tight, with the armrests pressing into my hips. Not this one. If anything, I feel small in it—there’s plenty of room on either side. It’s like going from a cramped budget airline seat to first class on a full-service carrier.
The lumbar support is the best I’ve ever used. The materials are top-notch—everything from the base to the legs to the casters is metal (feels like steel). The casters themselves use what look like inline skate wheels and glide effortlessly across carpet—almost too well on hard surfaces, so you might want to consider a rug. Not a flaw, just something to keep in mind.
I’ve paid twice as much for chairs that felt half as good, so in my opinion, this is an excellent value. The faux leather looks great and the stitching appears durable. While it may not last as long as real leather or high-quality fabric, it should hold up for a reasonable amount of time.
Tilt functionality is basic—just two settings: upright or slightly reclined. Honestly, that’s all I need. If you’re looking for something to nap in, this might not be the chair for you. But for office work or gaming, it absolutely delivers all-day comfort.
For reference, I’m 5'8", and the headrest aligns perfectly with the back of my head. If you're 6'5", it might end up being more of a neck rest.
And I have to give a special shoutout to the included T-shaped hex wrench. It may sound silly, but this alone earns it a 5-star review from me. Every other chair I’ve bought includes those awful angled hex wrenches that make you slam your knuckles into the frame with every turn—often accompanied by some colorful language. Sure, I have my own tools, but finding where my wife hid them isn't always easy. A good-quality tool in the box? That’s thoughtful and appreciated.

Wide and comfortable office chair
Color: Black, Style: Classic, Color: Black, Style: Classic
It's made of very fine leather and in good quality. It has a pump to pump air to the back of the chair, so I can adjust the softness of the chair back. It's a very wide chair. Maybe the widest one I ever bought. I can only sit half of its space. It's very easy to install, the alignments are perfect. Its arm and height is adjustable. The wheels are advance ones which make it move through the floor smoothly. It looks an advance chair if you want an upgraded experience.

Comfortable Seating
Color: Black, Style: Classic
I honestly didn’t expect this chair to be this comfortable, but it has exceeded my expectations in every way. I sit at my desk for long hours every day, and the adjustable air-pump lumbar support has been a total game changer. I love that I can fine-tune the firmness depending on how my back feels that day. My lower back pain has noticeably improved since switching to this chair.The seat is wide, thick, and very supportive without feeling stiff, which makes long work sessions much more comfortable. The armrests are another big plus—they adjust in so many directions that I can always find the perfect position for typing, reading, or relaxing. The chair feels extremely sturdy and well built, and it gives me confidence knowing it supports higher weight without wobbling.Assembly was straightforward and took about 20 minutes. Overall, this chair feels premium, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, all-day office chair.

Nice chair, w/ good cust support
Color: Black, Style: Classic
I apologize for length, but if I am doing a review for other people I assume you want to have as
much info as possible to make a decision. I feel this chair is for tall/fat/both so will review it as
such. At 6’4” @ 350lbs I fit into both, but reviewing based upon my body, yours is different so
adjust according.
TLDR – Would buy again, cavernous comfy chair with excellent customer support. Only
personal dings against chair are the back could be taller, but added back due to support.
Parts + Fit/Finish + Assembly:
The parts have some heft and feel solid as expected for a chair designed for heavy people.
Material and stitching look proper and I see no flaws. My box was beat to hell and ripped
opened at one point. Packing material took the hit and did its job as the items were unaffected.
The gas cylinder for the chair was missing and assume lost during shipping. (see customer
service). Assembly was standard office chair fare with simple and clear instructions.
Wheels / Height / Controls:
I normally wouldn’t think of mentioning wheels, but it’s different than expected. They are
good, maybe too good. A slight kick to push you back on wood floors sends you flying. The
height adjustment for me is good/standard. At full height my feet are flat on the floor and
where I would have the chair even if it went higher. My wife (5’6”) at that height is about 2.5
inches above the floor. Taller people than myself may wish for more height. Chair controls are
standard fare and operate smoothly
Seat:
It’s large and with the arms is there is nothing even close to your hip/legs. I can put my fist on
my hips and my arms barely touch the chair arms. This is why you are thinking of this chair, and
for that you will not be disappointed. The seat is not pillow soft and IMHO a little firmer than I
liked at first, but after a few days got broken in or I adjusted. I am a programmer + gamer so
spend a lot of time in the chair for hours on end. Comfortable and no complaints at all. Seat
depth for me is ~1” from my knee and good with roughly 20.5” usable butt/thigh length. That
should be fine for big/tall but may be a bit much for big/short. Measure your current chair and
decide from there.
Back:
The back lets the chair down a bit for me, the big/tall user, as the target seems to be big/short
users. The back ends just below my shoulder-line. That obviously means no leaning my head
back and the headrest is squarely on my shoulder blades. Not uncomfortable, but I’d prefer a
taller back. For me personally I’d like it to be extended 4”, but that would likely be an issue for
shorter users. I feel if the manufacturer increased the back by 2 inches it would be an ideal
compromise for all users. The chair has an inflatable lumbar support, which I did not use as I
personally find those uncomfortable. Also note the chair is designed for a more proper posture
with a 90deg back and not a more relaxed 100-110deg. Neither pro/con as personal
preference.
Arms:
The design of the arms being supported by rear only as mentioned earlier allow for an
abundance of hip/thigh space. This is an excellent ergonomic design with a potential caveat.
More stress will be placed upon the connection/joint. The joint for this chair is just shy of 4” so
seems beefy but only time will tell if it holds up to the lateral force of leaning on it while
reading. My chairs tend to last 5-7 years, due to the right arm feeling wobbly or the chair
leaning to the right. The arm adjustments provide a nice front/back of ~3”, from touching chair
back to 3” gap between chair/armrest. The height is similar and also moves the armrest
forward about another 2”. At full forward/up the armrest are higher than I like so should easily
accommodate taller users.
Customer Service
My chair was missing a part that I suspect was lost during shipping due to box condition. I
contacted them Sun (7/20/2025 @ 1201). At 2228 that night I received a response that they
acknowledged the issue and gave a tracking order for the missing part. The part arrived Mon
7/28 and gave a few days to test it out for review Fri (8/1). Obviously you don’t want an issue,
but if an issue arises how a company handles it tells you a lot IMHO on how they feel about
their product. I am very pleased with their handling of the matter.
