Review
Absolutely hysterical ! --Dennis Miller<br /><br />Stan Lee is an incredibly accomplished writer of comedy. (After reading Election Daze) my face and stomach still ache. Who knew that extended bouts of smiling coupled with laughter could prove so physically demanding...or hurt so good? --Bill Baker, Columnist, Baker's Dozen

About the Author
Stan Lee is an American icon, an acclaimed writer and editor best known as a modern myth-maker though the superheroes he has created such as Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, Daredevil, and the Fantastic Four. He led the expansion of Marvel Comics from a small publishing company to a large multi-media corporation by infusing his exciting characters with modern flaws and sensibilities. More recently Stan Lee has formed a company called POW! (Purveyors of Wonder) Entertainment which develops film, television, video games, and publishing properties. Lesser known is Lee s love for humor and pop culture. He once published a book of photo humor called Golfers Anonymous as well as editing and writing a magazine featuring celebrity humor called You Don t Say! With Election Daze Lee is returning to his roots by writing the kind of humor he finds most enjoyable and fulfilling.

Now I even like the pre-election bantering,

This review is from: Election Daze: What Are They Really Saying? (Paperback)
I ordered my copy last week and this book is great! It's such a relief from al the bikering in the campaign. If ou like light-hearted political humor you'll like this book a lot. There's photo's of just about EVERY important (and not so important) political figure from the heavyweights like Hillary, Obama, and Bush to Kerry, Kennedy, and even som people I don't know. There's also celebrities, one of my fave jokes involved Michael Moore! There's also Chuck Norris, so that says it all.
The best part is the cover joke with Hillary is perfect! She's yelling "...And I'll hire the interns!" After the latest news about Bill and Monica a few days ago, this joke is even funnier and the timing couldn't be better. Stan, your're the man!

This review is from: Election Daze: What Are They Really Saying? (Paperback)
Refreshingly non-partisan political humor with fabulous photography! I purchased my copy a few weeks ago and lent it to a family member who has little interest in politics. She loved it! The bad news, I suspect I am not getting it back any time soon.

A GREAT BUY!,
This review is from: Election Daze: What Are They Really Saying? (Paperback)
Talk about a piece of history. This is THE comic book legend going back to his roots and doing another comedy caption photo book.
There is no better souvenir to represent Election Year 2008!
