News of the EXCELSIOR! New RLSH Show Hosted by Stan Lee

I had been hearing whispering about this for quite awhile, but a couple of days ago the official trailer was released for Stan Lee's Academy of Heroes, a Real Life Super Hero reality show produced for the YouTube channel.

There have been several disastrous attempts to create a RLSH reality show, but this appears to be the first to make it out the other end of the tunnel alive. Readers of this blog will recognize several faces here, as I've met all off the contestants on this show and some have starring roles in my upcoming book. I'm very interested to see what Stan the Man has in store for the RLSH. Check out the trailer below.

Heroes in the Night will be published in Fall 2013 by Chicago Review Press

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.
