Founder Of Aircel Comics, Barry Blair, Dies

[Halloween Jack]

It's a bad way to have to go, and anyone who knew and liked Barry personally has my sympathies.

That having been said, I have to be honest and say that Aircel published some of the worst comics of the black-and-white boom. I think that an Aircel comic is one of the few comics that I've paid money for that I ended up throwing in the trash.
