I’m going to keep this short, because it almost pains me to post on top of Eisha’s and Adrienne’s<\/strong><\/a> very fun post from yesterday. Scroll down a bit if you missed it then and take in the conversation, dear readers. <\/p>\n

I’m over at Guys Lit Wire<\/strong><\/a><\/em> today with a bit about Marc Tyler Nobleman<\/strong><\/a> and illustrator Ross MacDonald’s<\/strong><\/a> new picture book biography, Boys of Steel: The Creators of Superman<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, released just this week by Knopf Books for Young Readers — and already met with a handful of starred reviews. It’s all about Jerry Siegel<\/strong><\/a> and Joe Shuster<\/strong><\/a>, the two unsung heroes who created Superman<\/em>. And I conducted a short Q & A with Nobleman as well; I didn’t give him the usually rather lengthy and Pivot-y 7-Imp treatment, since I’m guesting at another blog, but I did chat with him a bit about his new book — as well as his next project, a book for older readers about the uncredited co-creator and original writer of Batman<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Plus, you can find out who exactly a pionerd<\/em> is if you go read what Marc has to say. “Pionerd” is currently my new favorite word. <\/p>\n
