I don’t typically run Marvel press releases here, but I thought it relevant since King will be discussing Dark Tower 2 on NPR next Wednesday from 2:30 to 3 PM.
Details below:
Legendary author Stephen King will
give a live interview to discuss the state of comics tied to the release
of Marvel Comics’ Dark Tower: The Long Road Home, the second story arc
in his ground-breaking epic series Dark Tower on NPR’s esteemed program
Talk of The Nation this Wednesday, March 12th from 2:30-3:00 PM EST.
“Marvel Publishing is grateful to Stephen for taking the time out of his
busy schedule to talk about The Dark Tower comic series and comic books
as a whole,” says Ruwan Jayatilleke, Marvel Entertainment Vice President
of Development. “We’re excited that this will offer a chance to
introduce this phenomenal epic—and medium of entertainment— to NPR’s
listeners as well as reward loyal Dark Tower fans with some highly
entertaining radio!”
The second installment of the best-selling, critically acclaimed comic
book series hit stores on March 5th with the continuing saga of the last
Gunslinger in Dark Tower: The Long Road Home. The series reunites the
all-star creative team of Dark Tower expert Robin Furth, The New York
Times best-selling author Peter David, Eisner Award-winning artist Jae
Lee and fan favorite illustrator Richard Isanove, who turned the first
series Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born into the comic book event of 2007
— making it one of the year’s top selling series.
Exploring a chapter in Roland’s life that is only hinted at in the
novels, Dark Tower: The Long Road Home is the must-have that no comic
book or Dark Tower fan can miss, and no fan of comics can afford to miss
King’s live interview on NPR!
