Brian and I became friends in Chicago right after he graduated from high school, and I was a college dropout with a crummy job downtown. We went to California, had big adventures, then fell out of touch for a long time. For 18 years, he has been very sick. This is the comic I drew after visiting him recently in Seattle, where he had moved:
These photos I took of Brian in 1971 and during a visit in 2015 to Seattle where he moved.
Close Up and Far away 
At last a comic with true Super Heroes!
