Maine Author Jay Piscopo
December Book Signings: Capt'n Eli Rides Waves of Success in 2016 With
New Releases
PORTLAND, MAINE (November 20, 2015) – Nemo Publishing announced today that Maine comic book
artist and author Jay Piscopo will do three major book signings in December.
Piscopo will appear at Sherman's Books in Portland, Barnes & Noble in
Augusta and the Shipyard KBC Store in Kennebunk. He will offer free super hero sketches for
fans and all three volumes of his graphic novel series “The Undersea Adventures
of Capt'n Eli” will be available for purchase.
In 2016, Nemo Publishing
will release an illustrated classic novel line, starting with the Jules Verne
book “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea.”
In addition, under special license from Nemo Publishing, ProSe
Productions will release a title featuring Piscopo’s entire Nemoverse of
characters.
“The Nemoverse is a gateway
to exploration, to heroes, imagination, and the classics,” explains Piscopo.
“Our books will always be all ages and will always be something with one foot
in the past and another in imagination. Timeless works from writers like H.G.
Wells and Jules Verne stand the test of time for a reason. Eli and his story
are an homage to the worlds they built. Getting to combine the two is a dream
come true.”
