I did a signing once that got front page top-of-fold promotion on the entertainment section of the newspaper and a total of 5 people showed up, two of which were my mom and stepdad. I don’t think the other three thought I was Rob Schneider but I could be wrong!
Omg this was a great read. I was around back in the day of The Sword of Azrael. Back then there wasn't social media so being able to attract people into a comic book store really depended on word of mouth unless the store had the extra money to afford to advertise it locally. I look forward to reading more of your content each week. Its refreshing to see.
Great article. You made me laugh with Jon Secada story, you made me cry about when your Dad passed away, made me remind my Dad. Thanks!
That Jon Secada story is hilarious. Did your dad have a favorite piece of your work?
Your dad sounds like a wonderful person! Thanks for sharing the story with everyone.
The stories you hear about Esposito only reinforce the image you build from his on-screen appearances. 😂

Man. That Jon Secada story is brilliant. You made me laugh a lot. Cool memories, wise advice from your dad.
Joe!
I've got a similar story about my Dad secretly buying my comics. Parental pride is a wonderful thing: http://www.jimzub.com/another-little-story-about-my-dad/
Wonderful, thanks for sharing ❤🙏
Loved that story with your Dad. He was a wise man indeed.
That story about your dad...well...I think someone's cutting onions around here.
Your dad sounds like an awesome guy.
