Back in the beginning of February my father passed away. At the same time we were just getting over COVID. What was probably the worst week in my life, I had one of the most awesome things to happen ever. I got to have dinner with Ben Percy. Mr. Percy was coming to Annapolis, MD for a signing event of his new comic The X Lives/Deaths of Wolverine during the first weekend in February at my local comic store Third Eye Comics. Utilizing their rewards program I was able to have dinner with one of my favorite writers in the comic industry the night before the signing. Ben Percy has written for two of my favorite heroes; Nightwing and Wolverine. But I gotta tell you he was cool and down to earth at yhe same time. We talked about writing, about comics, and just had a great time. We were having such a great time no one thought to grab any pictures. My only regret of the night. Just before he had to go I asked him to sign a bunch of books for me. Mostly some variant covers of his new book andsome Year Zero. But one thing I did have was Teen Titans 12, the first appearance of the Bat Who Laughs. At Awesome Con this year I sent it off to CBCS for signature verification and grading. The book returned just as I was heading down for my Mom & Dad's Celebration of Life. That moment is now safe, and holds a very important place in my life and my collection. Ben, thank you for being Fantastic! And thank to the great people at Third Eye Comics for setting it all up. @benjamin.percy @thirdeyecomics @cbcscomics @dccomics #firstappearance #batwholaughs #teentitans #passionforcomic #comicgeek (at THIRD EYE COMICS) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgLW0R-MbbF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
