Stephen King Talks Comics on NPR!

This is an official Marvel Comics press release:

Legendary author Stephen King will give a live interview to discuss the state of comics tied to the release of Marvel Comics' Dark Tower: The Long Road Home, the second story arc in his ground-breaking epic series Dark Tower on NPR's esteemed program Talk of The Nation this Wednesday, March 12th from 2:30-3:00 PM EST.

"Marvel Publishing is grateful to Stephen for taking the time out of his busy schedule to talk about The Dark Tower comic series and comic books as a whole," says Ruwan Jayatilleke, Marvel Entertainment Vice President of Development. "We're excited that this will offer a chance to introduce this phenomenal epic - and medium of entertainment - to NPR's listeners as well as reward loyal Dark Tower fans with some highly entertaining radio!"

The second installment of the best-selling, critically-acclaimed comic book series hit stores on March 5th with the continuing saga of the last Gunslinger in Dark Tower: The Long Road Home. The series reunites the all-star creative team of Dark Tower expert Robin Furth, The New York Times best-selling author Peter David, Eisner Award-winning artist Jae Lee and fan favorite illustrator Richard Isanove, who turned the first series Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born into the comic book event of 2007 - making it one of the year's top selling series.

Exploring a chapter in Roland's life that is only hinted at in the novels, Dark Tower: The Long Road Home is the must-have that no comic book or Dark Tower fan can miss, and no fan of comics can afford to miss King's live interview on NPR!

Here is the link to the blog entry some NPRian made, along with the audio of the show. I haven't listened to it yet, as I am currently listening to the radio, but I am going to later on tonight when there's nothing on.
