Apr 13 12 7:15 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Wanted to offer a fond remembrance in tribute of fellow fan and friend Scott Mitchell, who I learned just passed away. He was a huge fan and proselytizer of monster movies with a great spirit and friendship, and many in MI may remember him, though his online presence was minimal. He worked at Dave's Comics in Royal Oak MI and many knew him from there, as his life spanned those great and essential interests of horror films, comic books, old toys, rock and roll, and the rest of the staples of life. He was a devoted fan and will be able to visit Forry, finally. A great guy, and he'll be missed.

I seem to recall him assisting in the press printing of a few issues of Greg Theakston's Pure Imagination publications in the 1980s. He also made cameo appearances as characters in some comic books (including a Conan, maybe one of the black and white issues?) and knew some comic artists pretty well. Also put out his own horror-film fanzine, he had access to some great rare original ad materials, forgot the fanzine name, but I wrote an essay for one of them. People would come and go at his house all day (and into the night) visiting and watching horror films, etc. Chris Gore, how a host on G4, very likely remembers him well, as Film Threat was just a photocopied 'zine when it was first sold at Dave's, and a bunch of us in the area were pretty close in those days with projects of all sorts.
