Last Friday evening at the Comic-Con International in San Diego, our friend Steve was formally inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Burne Hogarth, Mort Weisinger, Dick Giordano, Bob Montana and Mike Kaluta. Accepting on Steve’s behalf were his daughter Samantha and his longtime friend/collaborator, Mary Skrenes. A lot of us were pleased not […]
Yesterday marked two years since we lost our friend Gerber. I dunno about you but his name still comes up in conversations around me and I often hear folks lament the loss of one of their favorite writers…and sometimes, he isn’t even “one of their favorites,” he’s Numero Uno. I still miss my pal.

I’m pretty sure I […]
