The third installment in comics icon Stan Lee's series showing readers how to draw some of the most dynamic superheroes of all time.

Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, and the Avengers all share a common trait -- these hugely popular Marvel Comics superheroes were co-created by the legendary Stan Lee. Now, Lee shows readers everything they'll need to make their own mighty superheroes, just like his classic creations. Lee exposes his secret tools and techniques for bringing strong, inspiring heroes and heroines to life. He also shows aspiring creators how to expand their super-universes with evil villains, trusty sidekicks, brutes and monsters, super-pets, secret hideouts, and more!
Superheroes inhabit wild and weird worlds. However, they’re visually composed of some basic building blocks. In this chapter I’ll give you some pointers on how to draw superheroes based on the wild and wonderful world around us—as well as the world that’s aching to burst free from your fevered imagination!
