How I met Ray Bradbury
At the San Diego Comic-Con my wife and I sat at the DC Comics area to rest. About 8 feet in front of us were placed two chairs and two men sat down in them, facing away from us. People kept coming up to these men and sort of making a fuss over them, awed. I kept saying, “I don’t know who those men are but they must be famous because I feel like even the backs of their heads seem familiar somehow.” I went around and looked and it was Ray Bradbury and DC editor Julius Schwartz. I don’t remember my level of interaction with Mr. Schwartz, but I know I shook Ray Bradbury’s hand and told him how much I loved his work, how Death is a Lonely Business was my favorite… he was just like you’d think he would be.
