CCI Attendees: Please Consider Buying Something From Comic Relief

image

Like many people attending San Diego's Comic-Con International this week, I will miss seeing the late Rory Root at the show and in his element: dispensing advice near his Comic Relief booth, attending the various social functions or even just sitting outside smoking a cigarette and gabbing away.

I hope that if you're attending the show you'll join me in buying something -- anything -- from Comic Relief, for all the usual reasons but also in appreciation of Root's commitment to the comics medium and as a bit of thanks to that great shop's vital and always-welcome presence at the show. I can't imagine it will be easy for that staff to be there this time around, and we all know how much Root loved for people to find something they wanted to read.

I don't even have to recommend anything in particular, because I know they'll have something you want. Rory always had everything.
