Where You Can See, Hear, Read About (Or Otherwise Experience) Me
Hello and welcome to the newest installment of “Arie’s Self-Promote-y Goodness” (until I can actually come up with, you know, a REAL title). Want proof that I’m an actual living, breathing human being you can interact with IRL? Well, you’re in luck…
On Sunday, April 10th, 2016, I’ll be lecturing on the history of Jews in comic books as part of the 5th Annual Jewish University For A Day event. This event is a joint program of the Jewish Theological Seminary and Stony Brook University Hillel. From 11:45am to 12:15pm on Sunday, I’ll be signing copies of my award-winning nonfiction book FROM KRAKOW TO KRYPTON: JEWS AND COMIC BOOKS. And I’ll be lecturing twice, first from 2:45pm to 4:00pm, and then from 4:15pm to 5:30pm. I believe that on the event schedule, both lectures are titled “From Krakow to Krypton: A History of Jews, Superheroes and Comics.”
Also, I’ve been doing a few new press interviews to promote my new (and upcoming) projects. Here are three of those interviews:
- I was a guest on the latest episode of the COMICSVERSE podcast: http://comicsverse.com/arie-kaplan-podcast/
- I was also a guest on COMICS BULLETIN’s “Reboot Comic Book Club” podcast: http://comicsbulletin.com/podcast-arie-kaplan-reads-howard-duck-rcbc/
- And I was interviewed by the geek culture site SCI FI PULSE: http://scifipulse.net/interview-arie-kaplan/
In all three of those interviews, I talk about the two LEGO STAR WARS books I’m currently writing for Scholastic (one of which, FACE OFF, is available for pre-order on Amazon). I also talk about the three stories I wrote for the 5-MINUTE AVENGERS STORIES collection (which is out now from Disney Book Group’s Marvel Press imprint) and the story I wrote for the SPIDER-MAN STORYBOOK COLLECTION (which will be published by Marvel Press in May of 2016). Pirates are a recurring theme in these interviews, since they were all conducted shortly after my latest nonfiction book, SWASHBUCKLING SCOUNDRELS: PIRATES IN FACT AND FICTION, was published by Lerner Publishing Group. And in all three interviews, I discuss some of the recent projects I’ve worked on for TruTV, Dark Horse Comics, Bongo Comics, Legacy Games, and more.
