I stopped by my local comic shop looking for an older book of mine I needed for an upcoming gig. They didn’t have it. Second shop didn’t either. I needed it soon, so I jumped on eBay, found it right away for a great price, and bought it. A little later I get an email saying the seller canceled the transaction. I’m thinking, that’s odd, and I write him to ask what happened. Before I can even hit send, a message pops up from him: ‘The GOAT doesn’t need to pay for comics. Thank you for all your great work throughout the years, sir.’ I wrote back thanking him for the kind words and told him honestly ...it wasn’t a lot of money, I was happy to pay. But he insisted. It really hit me. This industry… the people in it… some of the kindest anywhere. Between us, when the book shows up, I’m sending him a package of my own. A proper thank‑you. It was such a sweet gesture, and it meant more than he probably knows.
