I remember meeting Malcolm Jones III at a comic book shop in 1994. We became friends, and talked by phone several times. There was a comic convention in my area, and Malcolm asked me for directions.. I suggested picking him up, and taking him to it, as I also was going. It was agreed, and I picked him up on the day of the first show. It would be a few months later, when his wife left him, that friends and I would see a change in him. He was depressed, and started to do crack cocaine. I saw the downward spiral, but there was little I could do, or anyone else could either.. I remember talking with him about a month before he took his own life. At the time, I had no idea he would even contemplate doing this. Now, I have one thing to remember him by; the Zorro 95 cover piece he gave me, early in 1995..
