    Undated modern REPRINT of the 1947 edition of Secrets Behind the Comics by Stan Lee. Originally published by Famous Enterprises Inc, no further information available on reprint. Written by Stan Lee with illustrations by Ken Bald. This book was published after Stan Lee wrote an article for Writer's Digest on the same subject matter. Though not the first book of its kind, Secrets Behind the Comics was a wonderful source of material to help inspiring young writers and artists to break into the comic book industry and has been reprinted and updated several times. Features a profile on Syd Shores and his creation the Blonde Phantom. It also includes profiles on Mike Sekowsky, Basil Wolverton, Al Jaffee and Martin Goodman. One of the gems of this book is a detailed description of how Captain America was created. 100 pages, B&W, card-stock paper, 5.5-in. x 8.5-in. Cover price $1.00.
