Formula One, Taylor Swift, and “Will Eisner Week” Event

Today’s a busy day! Why? Well, for one thing, today two of my books came out from Penguin Random House. One of those books is 96 Facts About Formula One. The other one is 96 Datos Sobre Taylor Swift, which is the Spanish-language edition of my USA Today bestselling book 96 Facts About Taylor Swift. I wrote both books, they were both illustrated by Risa Rodil, and the Taylor Swift book was translated into Spanish by Ariela Rudy Zaltzman.

Here’s the official publisher description of 96 Facts About Formula One:

BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!! At 7pm EST today, Tuesday March 3rd, 2026, I’ll be appearing on an online panel discussion, as part of Will Eisner Week. The panel is called “The Comics vs the Fascists – A Will Eisner Week 2026 Event.” The event is FREE, but you have to register, which you can do by emailing comicssymposium@gmail.com

Here’s a description of the “Comics vs. the Fascists” panel:

When fascism threatened the world in the 1930s and ‘40s, comics creators rushed to counter its threat, including through their characters actions. Will Eisner (with The Spirit), Joe Simon and Jack Kirby (with Captain America), and Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster (with Superman) were among the prominent writers and artists who used their four-color platforms to combat fascists both at home and abroad. Today, shining a spotlight on the way these creators rose to the challenge, and what lessons may be learned for the present, is an expert panel including: 

  • Karen Green (Columbia University Curator for Comics and Cartoons)
  • Dean Haspiel (The Red Hook)
  • Arie Kaplan (From Krakow to Krypton: Jews and Comic Books) 
  • Charles Kochman (Abrams ComicArts)
  • Danny Fingeroth (Will Eisner Studios) moderator
