I’m posting weekly chapters of upcoming books about the Star Wars and Marvel empires, though very different perspectives.

—YOUR WORSHIPFULNESS: STARRING CARRIE FISHER AS PRINCESS LEIA. It’s a biography, a Star Wars history, a celebration of Carrie Fisher, and a way for me to show I know how to spell Wookiee.

—FATHER AND SON ISSUES: THE SECRET HISTORY OF SPIDER-MAN. In it, I follow two real-life Spider-Man artists — John Romita and John Romita Jr — and their decades drawing Marvel’s famous webspinner.

If you read SUPER MARIO (about Nintendo and video games) or A MOUSE DIVIDED (about Disney and animation), these books are just like that. Except about movies and Star Wars, or comics and Marvel superheroes.
