The comic book world lost its resident Professor Emeritus yesterday and I lost a good friend. Katy Beerbohm-Young lost her father Robert Beerbohm yesterday after a courageous battle against cancer. Robert knew more about the history of the comic book medium than anybody hands-down, and he and I spent countless hours talking about it. I learned so so much from him. He didn’t always say the right thing nor was he easy to understand or get along with, but he was so passionate and truly harmless. Few like him remain in the comic book industry and we all are in debt to him for the research, care and service throughout the years on the comic con circuit of which, in its humble beginnings, Bob Beerbohm was an anchor. Your personality was large, your spirit is felt. Thanks for the Devil Dogs #1 and the Ship Ahoy with the L.B. Cole cover. They are NFS. 💔🙏🏻
