Just who was Stanley Martin Lieber - or as millions of superhero fans know him - Stan Lee? Sure, Stan Lee has been credited by those fans as the creator of Spiderman, The Avengers, The X Men and a whole universe of superheroes that dominate not only the comic book industry but to a large extent, the film industry. He was a writer, a self-promoter, a husband, a father and considered himself "a true believer," in the Marvel universe. But there is so much more to the life of Stan Lee, and unfortunately, much of it did not live up to his public persona. Join journalist Ernest Granson in conversation with writer and author, Abraham Josephine Reisman as they discuss Abraham's controversial biography of the comic book god, "True Believer: the Rise and Fall of Stan Lee."
