Marvel Comics and Star Wars will be the topics of discussion at downtown Hudson's Learned Owl Book Shop Feb. 13 from 3 to 5 p.m. when a pair of writers visit.
The Learned Owl will host writers Adam Besenyodi and John Booth. Besenyodi is the author of "Deus Ex Comica: The Rebirth of a Comic Book Fan." He recounts growing up with Marvel Comics, and reveals the lasting appeal of sharing them with his son.
Booth has written "Collect All 21! Memoirs of a Star Wars Geek," revisiting the imaginative world of his youth, and his perspective on the series as a father.
Besenyodi will give a presentation on his book and his love of comics, complete with illustrations, at 4 p.m. Feb. 13.
