SUMMARY:Book Talk: Patrick A. Reed\, Spider-Man Total Universe
DESCRIPTION:Join for a book talk with Patrick A. Reed\, author of Spider-Man Total Universe. An audience Q&A will follow. This in-person event will be free and open to the public. We recommend arriving early for the best seating. \nAbout the Book: The only issue-by-issue\, story-by-story history of Spider-Man comics\, from the wall-crawler’s first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15(August 1962) to the present. Fully illustrated with archival images. \nFrom the moment Spider-Man first appeared on the cover of Marvel’s Amazing Fantasy #15 in August 1962\, it was clear that creators Stan Lee and Steve Ditko knew they had made something extraordinary. More than sixty years later\, Spider-Man is one of the world’s most recognizable and beloved super heroes\, and his story spawned the lives and legends of countless other Marvel heroes and villains. How did a mild-mannered high school kid named Peter Parker swing his way into comic book history and beyond? This is his story. \nIn Spider-Man Total Universe\, pop culture historian and curator Patrick A. Reed mines the Marvel archive and his own decades-long knowledge of Spider-Man to unearth every aspect of the making of this comic hero dynasty\, tracing every amazing storyline\, story arc\, crossover event\, saga\, one-shot\, and limited series. Along the way\, Reed profiles every key character in Spider-Man’s universe and celebrates the writers\, illustrators\, and colorists that brought it all to life. Including thousands of images from the Marvel archives\, Spider-Man Total Universe is the must-have collection for every Spider-Man fan. \nAbout the Author: Patrick A. Reed is a pop culture historian\, curator\, journalist\, and DJ. He has curated exhibitions including Spider-Man: Beyond Amazing\, Inventing America: The Comic Book Revolution\, Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes\, Jack Kirby: Heroes And Humanity\, and The Hip-Hop and Comics Show; and has written for Sony Music\, TwoMorrows\, Taschen\, ComicsAlliance\, and MTV. He lives in New York\, NY.
