I second this comment, even though I don't know who/what Cometbus is.

cometbus was the zine written by
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Cometbus

His nearest claim to fame was as the roadie for Green Day 'before they were famous', but he lived a remarkable nomadic life, as a punk. He would write up his journals by hand with a truly beautiful penmanship

then distribute his work by taking jobs at copy shops and making duplications of his work. This led to a rather irregular schedule of releases, making the work seem that more unique and valuable. I've not seen much of his work, and assumed he'd stopped, but while putting together this response I'm pleased to see he has continued, and I can now thank you both for once again connecting me to some of the greatest parts of my/our shared past.
