I was a bit surprised that Jud thought that Rose was buying the comics for her grandchildren. I had just assumed that she was buying them for herself.

Thanks for sharing,

Jim

Aslo, having been a comic book store manager, I could relate to that side of the story as well.

I read this story to my wife last night and we both got very emotional. There were several times when I had to stop for a moment to unchoke and wipe my eyes.

The couple reminded us of my parents (Mom is 70 and Dad is 88) who have exactly the same type of relationship. Fortunately, they are both in good health (thank God) and my mother even likes Archie comics.

I’m going to send the story to them today. I’ve already kept a copy for myself.

It’s simply the best story I’ve ever read from an online comic book site. For that matter, it’s the best story I’ve read anywhere for a long time.

Thanks you for pointing me to the story. I frequent Comic Book Resouces but had not noticed the story was there.

That’s very much the kind of story that should be passed around.

(BTW, it’s actually thanks to your own blog that I’ve been giving various Archie titles a try again for the first time since I was a kid.)

A powerful and very touching story.
