We all remember John for his enthusiasm for comic books, and delight in turning someone onto a new series, as well as his love of Superman and Star Trek, but most especially his jovial spirit and his infectious laugh.
We will update everyone as we find out what plans there are for John's memorial.
He also worked at the local comic book store Closet of Comics, which eventually became Liberty Books & Comics, then Big Planet Comics, then Third Eye Comics, providing a continuity across decades.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the tragic passing of John Staton.
John was an institution in Maryland, creating art nonstop, including drawing a comic strip in The Diamondback during his time at the University of Maryland.
Happy New Comic Book Day!
