Comic Relief Rumored To Have Received Rent Notice

Erik Larsen put it in front of the most people's eyes so far. It's being picked up in various places and I have a few e-mails both in and out about it. Should be an interesting next couple of days; let's all hope this is pure fiction, or that knowing about it right now prepares us for any window to pitch in if that becomes an option. Any way it breaks this strikes as me as a sign of the times. The Berkeley-based Comic Relief was for years one of the nation's premier comics shops and arguably remains so today; its driving force Rory Root died three years ago this May.

A benefit was held last weekend -- I totally missed it -- but patrons tell me new books simply haven't appeared on the shelves in a while, which seems to me would be devastating for any comics shop.
