STAN LEE IS BACK FOR MORE AT BLUEWATER
Finally, the definitive illustrated biography of the controversial creator
who reinvented the comic biz, Smilin’ Stan Lee.
This detailed critical overview of Lee’s life and career unflinchingly
deals with still-open questions about who really “created” Marvel’s best known
characters; scripter Lee, or illustrators like Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko,
who’ve disputed their former boss’ recollections as to who deserves the most
credit, not to mention compensation, the bulk of both having long since been
claimed by Stan Lee. Written by pop culture historian and San Diego Reader
columnist Jay Allen Sanford, this visual history of Marvel’s eventual empire
is bound to institute much discussion, and possibly contention, in both the
comic industry and mainstream trade press.
From Bluewater Productions and Revolutionary Comics, Blackwell drew the
issue and Michael Szyksznian provided cover art.

“We are launching ‘Orbit’ with a skew towards a more male demographic. Said
publisher Darren G. Davis. “When we weighed the possibilities of featuring
people like Stern, LeBron James, Gary Gygax and JRR Tolkien into our
existing titles, the tone and tenor didn’t match. Their enduring popularity and
contributions to popular culture are worthy of coverage, but they needed a
different voice in which to present the material. ‘Orbit’ fits that bill”
Upcoming Orbit biographies include Stephen King, Howard Stern, Keith
Richards and Steve Jobs. Revolutionary Comics and Bluewater also have produced
graphic novels that are still available on “Pink Floyd”, “The Beatles”,
“Elvis”, “Led Zeppelin” & “Hard Rock Heroes”
