A Perfectly Sick Dream I Had the Other Night

Rory Root

Damn, fuck, hell. Rory Root passed away earlier this week. He is an icon in the comics world. A lot of fans may not know who Rory is, but I bet every professional working in comics knows Rory. He owned Comic Relief in Berkeley. The greatest comic bookstore in the world.
I did not know Rory very well, but I did spend one very surreal night with him in his shop. My friend Sean was working on Rory's computer in the old shop and Rory and I talked and talked and talked. He sat on his stool and I sat on the floor and we were there until past 5:00 in the morning. He had just found out that he had sleep apnea and told me to get checked (I am also a fat man.) We talked health, comics, religion, food, diet, being fat, all sorts of stuff. I felt like I had known the guy my whole life. I cannot attest to who he was to other people and what kind of person he was. But to me, on the couple of times I met him, and that one night. He was serious, not super friendly. He listened and didn't just talk like so many people do. We talked about loneliness. One other thing. All the while we talked, Sean would chime in from the computer every once in a while. Whenever we mentioned a comic or graphic novel that Sean liked, Sean would comment. Rory would put his finger over his lips to me, "shhhhhhh." And slip a copy of that mentioned comic into a bag for Sean.
A sad week.

From a comic I did, entitled, '21 Last Pages.'

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. poster

Stolen.
I think I got this photo off of ebay.
After struggling through this movie five or six times, it has become one of my favorites.
Tarkovsky actually shot the film once before and the lab destroyed the footage. The STALKER we know and love is his second attempt.
My buddy, Matt turned me onto this movie and kept telling me how great it was as I struggled through my first watching. I now know that he was right all along.

Skagway Clements

Stolen.
I'm not sure where I got this picture. I believe Skagway Clements was a professional wrestler. I think I heard he faced Gorgeous George.
What is up with his eyes? It looks like they are two different colors.
I just love this picture.

Immortal

Immortal is a wrestler from Mexicali. He is a rudo. He wears this mask, a puffy shirt, long trunks, boots, and thick gloves. My wife and I noticed some of the fingers of his gloves were bending extremely far back; some of the glove fingers were empty.
We later found out that Immortal is a burn victim. My wife's uncle met him out of character. He said most of the normally visible areas of his body are burned.
Immortal is our favorite luchador in Mexicali.
