From George Pérez
Due to a family illness (my wife's father is in the final stages of cancer and has been given a very short time to live) I will likely not be attending the Heroes Con this year. While my father-in-law lives in Asheville, NC and I may be in the area during Father's Day weekend, it would be inappropriate for me to attend the show since my wife will need me for support during this time. If my father-in-law dies before Heroes Con I may be able to come to the show to handle the auction (barring funeral arrangements causing schedule conflicts), but my participation in the show would understandably be limited to that. I've already spoken with convention organizer and longtime friend Shelton Drum about this unfortunate turn of events and really regret not being able to attend this very special show. I hope everyone understands and I apologize for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause.

Best,
George Pérez
