Barry Blair was a friend and a fellow duo-tone afficiando. We met in Boston in the 90's at one of the many Cons that we would see each other at. We lost touch when I got out of the business, but re-established our friendship on-line. I heard yesterday from Tom Sniegoski that Barry had passed away due to a brain aneurism. It's sad to see someone as talented as Barry pass from something so silent and hidden. I'll remember the talks we had about art and the insane comic book business.

Was Barry Blair the guy who did a comic book called SHURIKEN? If so, he would have died quite young!
That's him. Shuriken was a fun book. Barry had a great style mixing manga and his own style. He sold his books over in Japan where a million print one was a disappointment where here it would be a landslide.
I met Barry at least two or three times. He was a very pleasant guy.
Barry's book was SAMURAI. SHURIKEN was by Reggie Byers.
Thanks Terry. We are old after all.
