Death of Hub Comics owner

More Union Sq than Davis, but...

The owner of Hub Comics has passed away... Terrible to hear this. I no longer live near Somerville, but I really liked the store and what it brought to the community, introducing comics to people who might not have previously appreciated the medium. :(

Wicked Local (Somerville Journal) has a more detailed story: Somerville's Hub Comics owner dies after poisoning inside home

ETA: Somerville Patch now has a story too: Hub Comics Owner Dies. It says there will be a memorial service at the store, date and time not yet determined.

I pretty much knew and/or guessed most of this, but, fucking hell. I do love that store, and James was a good guy.

Bub was there? Oh my god.

That's so very sad. Very very sad. The world really needs people like him, willing to do bold and creative stuff and offer people something different and fun, so this is indeed a big loss for the world.

Condolences go out to all who knew him and his family.
