While making Jaws, the Alex Kintner death scene (below) was originally going to be our first full, shocking look at the shark. The scene was shot, but Spielberg and other filmmakers felt the scene was too grisly and cut it, leading to the (more effective) quick glimpse we got in theaters.
Big Thanks to Juan, Dave, and all the other great staff at Greenville NC’s Nostalgia Newsstand for all their hard work and amazing hosting of this year’s Free Comic Book Day! I had a great time, and so did the crowds!
This one hurts. Rest in Peace, Ramona Fradon. 97 years young. You were always a favorite of mine as a little (and big) kid. I loved your work, but the fact that you were such a nice, approachable person made you even more legendary. You will be missed.
