When strange and wonderful things happen, sometimes you can't help but think, "Hey, am I dreaming? Is this real?" Comics & Classics just had one of those odd moments. Brian Michael Bendis visted us just less than 30 minutes ago.
In town to visit family, Bendis dropped by to pick up a few books. Wondering what the mega-talent for Marvel Comics is reading these days? Michael bought Scott McCloud's Zot!, Alex Robinson's Too Cool to be Forgotten, "Univeral War One," and "Final Crisis Rouge's Revenge." Oh, and he picked up a copy of Rob Jones' "Perfect Storm #1." Rob was, of course, pleased as punch!
The guys here wanted to smash me because I didn't get a photo, but since Michael had riden over from the beach on a bike, I didn't think he would appreciate me whipping out a camera and snapping pictures of him or hasseling him for autographs. I am considering framing his credit card receipt (...... just kidding). So, how cool is that, huh?
