Con Runner Murder Charge Hits Hard

News that Pennsylvania comic shop owner and Pittsburgh Comicon co-organizer Michael George was charged with the murder of his then-wife in a Michigan comic book shop in 1990 has hit fans of that show with the expected shock and dismay.

Among the interesting aspects of the case that have been released is that 1) it could be up to 30 days before Mr. George is extradited from Pennsylvania, where he was arrested, to Michigan; 2) instead of a fake robbery of $30,000 in comic book that I and I'm guessing others had assumed took place in 1990 to help cover the crime, it now looks like that may have been a phantom robbery, and no comics were taken from the store; 3) there is no new evidence, only a judicious re-examination of the cold case starting in January of this year; again, I had assumed someone had come forward.
