SLUGFEST
Inside the Epic, 50-year Battle between Marvel and DC
This is the story of the greatest corporate rivalry never told. In the now billion-dollar superhero game, Marvel and DC are the only players. Others have revealed elements of their battle for the supremacy, but, packed with new and revealing stories, SLUGFEST will be the first to put it all together one narrative.
Slugfest will combine primary-source reporting with in-depth research to create a more fun Barbarians at the Gate for the comic book industry. Reed will interview the major names in the industry (such as Stan Lee, former Marvel editor-in-chief and historian Roy Thomas, Marvel and DC writer Gerry Conway, superstar artist Rob Liefeld) in addition to dozens of role players from the two companies.
Beyond their immense success at the box office, October 2014 marked the biggest single sales month for print comics in 17 years. Identifying as either a Marvel or a DC reader is integral to comic fandom. SLUGFEST plays to this perfectly, the ideal book to capture the audiences who now are accustomed to going to see comic book super heroes at the movies every weekend. The back story of these two companies only grows more relevant to a larger group of people with each new blockbuster. Did you see the latest Batman movie? Excited about the new Avengers? Well then you are going to love this book.
Reed Tucker is entertainment reporter at the New York Post, covering movies and pop culture. His work has appeared in Esquire, USA Today and on the most popular sites covering the comic book industry.
