Stan Lee is publishing a memoir—and, of course, it will be in the form of a graphic novel. Lee, 92, the former head of Marvel Comics and creator of such iconic comic book (and now major motion picture) characters as Spider-Man and the X-Men, says in a statement that "as Marvel just celebrated its 75th anniversary, I thought maybe it's time for a look at my life in the one form it has never been depicted, as a comic book ... or if you prefer, a graphic memoir." Amazing Fantastic Incredible: A Marvelous Memoir will be released via Touchstone on Oct. 6, the Los Angeles Times reports. (Read more Stan Lee stories.)
