I.:. I want the ability to Record-

Recorded below (by my Mother, sneaking-pictures) is Frank Miller & I meeting; at The Comic Book 2018 Denver Convention downtown. Val Kilmer was there as well somehow. Frank signed Four Books for me; and we had a slight exchange as to how each other were doing. Easily the most nervous I have been in my life (Except for when my Cat runs away.),  for Two Hours straight in a line among what we call geeks. I am a Geek. I am a Nerd. I Am also a self-professed Cartoonist, Writer; Guitarist, Singer, Painter, Swimmer, Chef, & Four Time College dropout...

But-

Frank Miller and I met in 2018 Denver Comic Convention, which is a Part of What-my story is about & what I want. I want the ability to Record-



See, Frank Miller once upon A 1986 created *the* Comic of Comics.


-The Dark Knight Returns. It's Why He was there that-day. Everyone else, like Myself, Val Kilmer; were there for similar or different reasons. I was there on a roadtrip with my mother & brother. I sought out rare finds, people looking for someone to join their team, possibly some celebs' undercover, & Doomsday Clock issues. I accomplished some. But the name thing is I met Frank. I learned, obviously, he's a Real Human alive with a Story and saw what that kind of Person was in the real. Same With Kilmer for the five seconds he popped out of his booth setup next-door. Dude just grinned, looked around, waved at some group of pretty girls; & Retreated back in his tent booth thing as they all swooned over him Just Smiling and Acknowledging them. -Val Fucking Kilmer God Damnit.

And Yes I Desire that- Fame. Power. I fear it too. No Privacy. Criticism. Between the two feelings of my Desire is a feeling, a knowledge; that-I Honestly want to Be Remembered. I don't exactly understand / comprehend this. I've always had an underlying urge for Survival. As a kid I would consider what I might have to do to live if robbers broke in our home, or if suddenly some Big Truck came speeding right at me while on a walk through town... Or if the building I was in caught on fire. Id have imaginary arguments with people, imaging Both Sides of the discussion so that I could correctly layout how to Win. I still do some of those. No real-reason for such An urge to Reside Within Me...? But that may be the basis of my intent to Record. some Form of Survival after I May Die. Hmm.

      Perhaps it was written best by Ditko what it is like; To Create, To Enjoy, To Work, To receive Critique, To Compete. To Make Art of Values-

(Letter from Steve Ditko in response to a Fan-Mail query about what He enjoyed about being a Cartoonist.)

Ditko learned to Avoid the Fears I wrote about earlier, always denying on-camera interviews, comic-conventions, or having himself Recorded. Kinda the opposite Inverse of Myself... But He always took time & Responded to all of his Mail. By Hand. Never took Royalties of Millions from Movies He Inspired. Steve worked himself, to an Elderly death in the same field he exiled himself from the limelight in. I wonder if he was satisfied. 

I hope, and from what I can discern also think, That Frank leads a Satisfied human experience. He laughs and cracks jokes with people in interview and casual conversation is Pleasant. Frank watched 9/11 happen from his home. Frank has seen his 2000's works panned by critics, often to unfair extremes because of his Comic Book GOAT status. He has fought cancer. He has endured as a Human, I hope he is happy, because he has what I Need. I hope this, though I Know that Happiness to me is a choice, and Relies Within the Mind rather than The experience that encircle You in Physical-Lives. In My opinion. But whats an opinion anyways...
-And So; I Shall Craft My Survival As Some Composed Formation In Artistic-Stimulant Through Love.
