MURDER CHARGES IN THE COMIC INDUSTRY

Holy crap.... MICHAEL R. GEORGE, creator of the famous PITTSBURGH COMIC CON has been arrested and charged for the 1990 murder of his then-wife BARBARA.

17 years ago Barbara was killed execution style in the couple's comic book store. She had stayed late after closing to prep the store for Michael's surprise birthday party.

Holy crap.
More as the news develops....

You're thinking of Comic Book Villains, Maker. It's not exactly the same - the wife in that one does the killing, if I remember, and first they go after the competing store.

I'm wondering what the break in the case was, since it's now 17 years old.

If he did it, I guess he really didn't want a party for his 30th - she was killed while getting the party set up. How's that for a surprise?
