WELCOME TO HEROES IN THE NIGHT!
My name is Tea Krulos and I'm a freelance writer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I was introduced to the Real Life Super Hero(RLSH) story in late February, 2009. As a lifelong fan of comic books and unusual and unique people and subcultures, I was immediately hooked.
I was determined to find a local RLSH if there was one and found The Watchman, a man who dons a red rubber mask, suit, and trenchcoat and patrols the streets of Milwaukee. I had a long, fascinating interview with him in person one night and determined that the short magazine piece I had successfully pitched did not scratch the surface of the story and decided to write a book. After a few months I also established this blog- both the book and the blog are titled Heroes in the Night.
My book is based on extensive research, interviewing, and field work. I have traveled to meet RLSH in Minneapolis, Rochester (Minnesota), Brooklyn, Vancouver, Portland, Seattle, San Diego, New Bedford (Massachusetts) , and Washington DC, as well as meeting regularly with the Milwaukee crew.
I have been quoted as an expert on the subject in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, People magazine, Seattle Weekly, Scientific American, io9.com, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and dozens of other newspapers, magazines, websites around the world. I've also made appearances on a dozen radio shows and have been filmed for three different RLSH documentaries.
I have written articles on the subject for Milwaukee magazine, the Boston Phoenix, New York Press, Forces of Geek, Riverwest Currents, and Delayed Gratification.
Heroes in the Night will be published in Fall 2013 by Chicago Review Press.

Knock it out of the ballpark tomorrow Tea Krulos!
ReplyDeleteMaster Legend is the "To Kill a Mockingbird" (ok, maybe the Boo Radley) of the RLSH storylines. Everything one has been able to find out, leads one to believe that "Master Legend is the Greatest of the RLSH". The other, lesser heroes try - but most are hindered by (comparitively)almost normal IQs, and virtually little or no insanity - and thus Master Legend is propelled to be their greatest member being so unhindered.
Others may argue - they'll point to his hilarious dumbness. His staggering illiteracy. His misogyny - possibly stemming from his fear of women. His reported homophobia. His weird voice, and his futile efforts to conceal his male pattern baldness. But one celebrates all these qualities as those that make "Master Legend: Greatest RLSH" (Real Life Superheroes)!
The heroes succeed with his antics, their fates entwined. But should he falter? Should he be found out as Not an gamboling mascot, but a dire danger? What then will be their entwined fate if "Master Legend: Greatest RLSH" should fail them?
-Lord Malignance
It's too easy to humble Master Legend. One may only have one ArchNemesis, and so Master Legend must sadly for him, remain an orphan. Keep seeking your redemption Master Legend! (and yes, one is hiding as one types this)
This should be interesting.
