Mike Grell
is an old friend of mine - 15 years and counting now...
and since he moved from across the river from me to about 100 miles south of me, we haven't touched base. Anyway, I was thinking about him over the weekend because he and his wife Lauri didn't make it to our annual winter gathering and when I checked my morning email there's an invite for me & mine to come down & spend the weekend at his new place.
I feel unprepared; usually I bring something from his past to tease him with - last time I visited I had a 'Warlord' action figure still in its box. Anyone else remember these? Really nothing more than a Warlord head stuck on a He-Man body. I guess one of the best things about knowing Mike and collecting comics is the stories. Here I am trying to tease him with this terrible action figure and he tells me a story about how he met the man the sculpted the bodies for all of the original He-Man figures and his Warlord figure. Turns out he's local to me too.
Anyway, I just thought I'd share. Does anyone else have an old comic artist or writer that they get to hang out with on occasion?
Good luck & good hunting.
