Brad Meltzer at Decatur Library, 9/19

The Atlanta-area comics crowd might be interested to know that author Brad Meltzer will be at the Decatur Library on September 19 at 7:15 PM. He'll be there to promote his new novel The Book of Lies, but I'm far more interested in his work for DC Comics.

Civilians know him best as a best-selling suspense author, but comics fans know Meltzer for his work on titles including Identity Crisis, Justice League of America, and Green Arrow. In fact, his Justice League of America #11 won the Eisner Award for Best Single Issue this year. Some of his comics writing has been controversial, but it would be hard to deny that he has risen quickly in the industry. Meltzer has also recently taken the lead in a chartiable effort to save the Cleveland house where the teenage Jerry Siegel created Superman in the 1930s.

Meltzer's complete tour schedule is on his website.
