"This is the kind of stunt that got me my comic book company, Boneyard Press, a metric ton of free publicity. I was always pulling stunts like this during the nineties. This kidnapping was back in 1994, WaaaaaaAAAAAaaaaayyyy before Jackass, which I love. At the time we did this, there were 2 big mags duking it out over the comic book marketplace. I and my burn victims kidnapped Hero Illustrated's managing editor, Frank Kurtz, out of his office wearing Wizard (the competition and sole survivor of the magazine wars) hats. We had one inside man to let us in but no one else at the company knew we were coming. It was worth a free lunch and I spent two years on Hero's 100 Most Important People in the Comic Book Industry list. I was ahead of Jim F'in Shooter at one point! HIlarious. Yet you won't find these stories written down in any comics history books... politics kids... politics..." -Hart D. FIsher/Publisher/Boneyard Press www.boneyardpress.net www.crimepaysinc.com
