Remembering Mike Ferrero of Fat Jack's Comicrypt

Ferrero had been in the comic book business for nearly half a century, with shops in Philadelphia and Oaklyn that preceded an industry boom in the 1990s and outlived most of its competitors. Friends remember him as gentle and generous to a fault in an industry that frequently rallies around its own.
