As for the story well, it’s not all that weird.
I was at Forbidden Planet comic shop that day, just browsing, and ran across a book called GRENDEL, the monthly starring Christine Sparr (I’d never heard of Hunter Rose, but would).
I totally dug it, and grabbed all the available issues but the store didn’t have the all important first issue.
The guy at the counter made a few calls for me, and found a shop in midtown that had it, so off I went.
I totally did not factor in the parade.
Once off the subway I realized it was between me and the comic shop so…I went for it.
It was surprisingly easy to cut across but yeah, the cops were on my ASS; I barely got away.
And I did get that first issue!
