*Stan (the Man) Lee has done it again!!! Hot on the heels of his mind-boggling and best-selling Origins of Marvel Comics, the stellar storyman gives us Son of Origins, more Marvel Mania about comicbook characters who have become 20th-century myths.
Included are the origins of The X-Men, Cyclops, The Beast, The Angel, Iceman, and Marvel Girl, all mutants battling under the leadership of Professor Xavier against Magneto, the force of evil personified; Iron Man, The Golden Avenger, whose first comicbook appearance was not as the gleaming gilded hero we know and love today; the original Avengers, including Ant Man and his lovely lady, the wonderful Wasp: Daredevil, blind superhero whose keen senses of smell, touch, hearing and taste more than make up for his sightlessness: Nick Fury, who first surfaced as a sergeant in World War II and later became Supreme Commander of SHIELD; The Watcher, whose first appearance came five years before his origins were finally revealed in another first for comics, the premiere issue of The Silver Surfer; and finally, The Silver Surfer himself, at first a messenger for Galactus, who later became a superhero in his own right in a special 64 page origin edition.
Son of Origins is a must for comicbook cognoscenti. So open this tome and read on, O Seeker of the Truth, for as Stan says, "The cosmos lies before us and the spaceways beckon!" Source: Back of book.
