MARVEL COMICS BOOK RELEASE PARTY IN NEW YORK CITY, WITH SPECIAL GUEST CHUCK KLOSTERMAN: OCTOBER 9!

Marvel Comics: The Untold Story is finally hitting shelves on Tuesday, October 9. It’s the result of years of hard work, and I’m proud to say that the early reception has been very encouraging. (See below!)

I’m confident that the behind-the-scenes story of Marvel Comics is one of great relevance to anyone—comics reader or not—who’s interested in the ways that art and commerce interact. To prove it, I’ll be celebrating the book’s release with an onstage conversation with the stubbornly casual comics reader Chuck Klosterman, at the PowerHouse Arena, 37 Main Street, Brooklyn, on Tuesday, October 9, at 7 p.m.
I’d love to see you there.

(And please help me get the word out! Here’s the Facebook event page!)

“Sean Howe’s history of Marvel makes a compulsively readable, riotous and heartbreaking version of my favorite story, that of how a bunch of weirdos changed the world. That it’s all true is just frosting on the cake.”
— Jonathan Lethem

“A warts-and-all, nail-biting mini-epic about the low-paid, unsung ‘funnybook men’ who were unwittingly creating twenty-first century pop culture. If you thought the fisticuffs were bare and bloody on the four-color page, wait ‘til you hear about what went down in the Marvel bullpen.”
— Patton Oswalt

Another amazing NYC book event I am totally bummed out to be missing. Please go on my behalf, and spread the word!

Meet Allie Hagan, Emma Koenig, and all your Tumblr friends for a launch party celebrating two new books that are hilarious and awesome. Free drinks! Live music! Funny readings! Celebrity trivia! 

Tuesday, September 25 at 7:00pm at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe. See you there!

Presenting the beautiful poster for the Brooklyn Book Festival Bookends events taking place at powerHouse September 19-21.  While we’re beyond thrilled to have such a packed three days, we really hope the coffee purveyors of Dumbo can keep up with all the caffeine we’re going to need over the 72 hour period. 

September’s gonna be so killer, you guys!
