We knew him in myth,
We knew him in whispers.
Never real to us; a spirit stuck between the pages.
Hands ink-stained and calloused with the caress of fiction,
Neither man nor Superman,
Just a witness to whispers,
Voyeur to the quiet action of colour and motion
And the happiness brought by his light.


A kind soul, quiet and loving.
A father to all,

-R.I.P Rob “Superman” Charpentier

I've known Rob since 1996 and I've seen him in his store nearly every week since.

We passed a lot of time in conversation about comics, business and Life. He was a rare and generous man. I hope he knew how many friends he had. We miss him.

Rob always treated my daughter wonderfully when we'd come into Comics and More. Though not yet four, he would joke with her and talk about the things she loved (usually My Little Pony). I hope he knew how beloved and appreciated he was by everyone who visited him. Rest in peace, Rob.

Rob always had a friendly nod and greeting when ever I went to his shop. He had a passion for his work and a willingness to share it with others. He will be missed.
