The crew at Comic Relief plans to honor Rory Root, who passed away earlier this month, with a celebration on June 21 at his comic shop in Berkeley, Calif. The details:

Saturday, June 21st, 7pm Comic Relief invites you to join in a celebration of the life of Rory Root.

All are welcome, regardless of relation to Rory. Long-time friends to casual shoppers of the store- and total strangers, come and hear stories from some of the people who knew him the best.

Rory had a vision that Comic Relief would thrive and bring people together with that special book that
would plant a seed of love for the art of comics; we hope that you will share with us that vision on June 21st, and long into the future.
