Go, Look: Photos Of Gary Groth, Fanzine Maker

I would assume these photos are from the Baltimore Sun archives from a feature article done or at least planned about Groth. It's amazing to me how many such articles were done about young collectors and/or fanzine makers that later on worked in the industry they loved and covered. Making a publishing career out of a start in your bedroom counting out lines of type on an electric typewriter is a remarkable thing. Groth is one of the principal members of an entire generation of comics-industry folk that just kind of threw themselves at the obstacles they faced, over and over again, until they found enough of a purchase to stick around.
