Godspeed Rory Root
It’s amazing to see the impact that Rory Root has had on the comics community. He was a titan. And he will be missed. But his impact will be lasting.
I’d like to share a personal anecdote about Rory. I met him at the San Diego Comic-Con. At the Comic Relief booth, I showed him my mini-comics. 1000 STEPS TO WORLD DOMINATION. On the spot, he offered to buy ten copies of each issue. That was (40) copies of my little books. And God bless him, I left there walking on air because of his generosity.
A couple years ago I was in Berkeley and got to see Comic Relief. A stunning array of comic books and graphic novels. His store demonstrated his love of the medium and his support for independent comics. He set the bar very high.
Godspeed, Rory Root.
