ITEM! Bill Schelly, the foremost chronicler of comics fandom of the 1960s and 70s, passed away this week. Schelly was a regular contributor to Alter-Ego mag and the author of several books focused on comics fandom and creators, including James Warren, John Stanley and Joe Kubert. He'll be much missed.
