My Life in Comics (a Memoir)
by Ron Fortier
My name is Ron Fortier and for most of my adult life I’ve written those wonderful little magazines in which stories are told not only with words but also with beautiful illustrations drawn by talented artists. Comics are an art form created here in America back in the late 1920s and today they are published around the globe. My hope is the stories you are about to read will inform and entertain you but most of all amuse you. After all, when they first came on the scene they weren’t called comics; they were called funny books.

Well this was a pleasant surprise. I had no idea my comics were available at Firehouse Books. Thanks.
