"Jerry Weist (1949-2011)
Author, bookseller, and collector Jerry Weist, 61, died January 7, 2011 after a
long struggle with cancer.
Weist wrote the Hugo Award winning Ray Bradbury: An Illustrated Life (2002) and
The 100 Greatest Comic Books (2004). He was an art expert with an emphasis on
comic book, pulp, and science fiction art, and wrote two editions of The Comic
Art Price Guide, with a third edition completed shortly before his death and
forthcoming.
Born September 16, 1949, Weist grew up in Wichita KS. He began producing his
own fanzines in 1962 with Nightmare and Movieland Monsters, and later edited
and published E.C. Comics fanzine Squa Tront (1967-1983). He moved to New York
in 1972 to be an artist, with his work featured in one-man shows and galleries.
He relocated to Boston, where he opened early comic book store The Million Year
Picnic in 1974. After a decade as a bookseller he moved back to New York, where
he spent ten years as a consultant with Sotheby’s auction house, organizing
their first major comic book and comic art auction in 1991. He is survived by
his wife and two children."
