Time flies and it really doesn't seem that long ago but it was 1997 and Harry Kremer was celebrating the 26th anniversary of his fantastic comic book emporium.
Unfortunately, it has been a very long time and I am sorry to say, that I really don't recall much about the event. At the time, I was not really paying attention, to the comic books being published by the special guests.
It took me a while, a long while to discover what Mark Oakly and Tara Jenkins were doing...and while I remember Lethargic Lad, vaguely, I am still ignorant of what Greg Hyland's comic book was about.
Harry Kremer was a very special guy and while we all knew he was dealing with health issues, it was still a shock, when I learned from Tim Simms, the proprietor of Worlds Collide, in Oshawa, that Harry had died.
That was 2002...eighteen years ago! It doesn't seem possible.
Hi Chris, Remember me. Derek Powell, I bought an FF#1 off you in Japetus Comic Shop, it had a hole in the front cover, only a £1. I asked you why you sold it me and you pulled out a mint condition FF#1 from under your coat.
