THE LORD REX FEAR STORY PART 2

An update: At the Small Press Expo convention on Spetember 6-8, 2002, Lord Rexington Fear was observed walking around with a knife, claiming that he needed to "protect himself" from myself and Cheese Hasselberger, despite Rexington's repeated threats of physical violence towards us, as seen here and here. I am collecting stories from other attendees about his behavior.

Cheese Hasselberger:
We ended up having a bash in my room with Hellman, Victor Cayro, Bak, Kupperman, Jenny, Henderson, and a bunch of French Canadians selling kiddy porn comics. It was a hoot and a hollah. Towards 2:30 a knock came at the door and a group of people were looking for a place to score some free beer, Tim Kelly opened the door and noticed Reid was part of the group. He yelled back into the room, "Hey Cheese, Reid's at the door, should I let him in? and by the time I had a chance to respond, he was running down the hall. HOORAY!

Jenny Gonzalez:
(paraphrased from lost email) He tried to talk shit to me for a while because I'm a girl and shorter than he is but when Tim (my boyfriend) walked up he ran away.

Anon. Cartoonist:
After being a real pain in the ass for a while, he handed me his sketchbook. the theme was "demonic angel in love."..

Anyways, he had handed me the book in a way that I drew upside down on the back of the last page of the book. He was pissed, and when he came back a couple hours later to get Nick B to draw in it, I wanted to show him my drawing, but it had been ripped out!!!

Then at the end of the night, he starts powertripping and rudely telling me to "pack it up NOW". I was going to get my mom to pimpslap him, as she was right there, but by then he was yelling at Jeff Mason (Alternative Comics publisher - ktj), who was kind of incredulously laughing as he told Reid that he was simply not going to pack up as there were about ten people literally waving money in his face at that moment.

Also good was in the morning when he turned around and asked me if his collar was ripped.

He had put his head in between the second and third buttons on his shirt and the collar was buttoned behind his neck!

From an email sent to illustrator deluxe and compulsive photog Danny Hellman: "...I felt like I looked really good this weekend and so I must not look bad in the photos themselves..."
