A progress report on my book about Crisis on Infinite Earths

As mentioned in a previous post, I'm writing a history about the groundbreaking comic book maxi-series Crisis on Infinite Earths for TwoMorrows Publishing. It's due to come out next year, the 40th anniversary of the series. I'm having the time of my life doing a deep dive on one of my greatest passions--comic books! I'm also just over 13,000 words into the manuscript, averaging about 1,000-1,200 words per day whenever I'm able to work on it. Unlike writing fiction, writing this book is an exacting process, especially considering how obsessive comic book fans can be about details. So, I feel a lot of pressure not only to get everything right but also to go as deep as possible into every aspect of the topics I'm writing about. Sometimes it feels like I'm writing a master's thesis or a PhD dissertation. At any rate, I'm learning a ton, I'm loving every minute of it, so far at least, I think it's one of the best things I've ever written.

Just for fun, below is a photo of Crisis scribe Marv Wolfman (r) and Len Wein (l), who helped Marv in the early stages of plotting Crisis and who also oversaw the publication of Who's Who in the DC Universe, taken sometime in the early 1980s, shortly before Crisis​ came out.
