Sheldon "Shel" Dorf

In 1975, Shel took a couple of young men from Ohio, just arrived in San Diego, under his wing. It was me and Jon Hartz. Not only did he get us started as Comic-Con volunteers, but we wound up moving into the next-door cottage in Ocean Beach.

Shel encouraged me to write a column for Comics Buyer's Guide, arranging it with publisher Alan Light.

Comic-Con and the column got me a job at Pacific Comics. This started a 35-year career in the business, and I am happy to...

Good Bye Shel......a good guy and a good neighbor........rest in peace.

Our family knew Shel through our son Matthew, who Shel was a mentor to. He was a very creative man. We enjoyed his company and will remember the Thanksgiving dinner we all shared together listening to his very interesting stories about his walk thru life and all those he met along the way. We are comforted to know he is at Peace. Love, The Lorentz Family
