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
