and delayed print publishing for months. Now, stores around the country are cautiously reopening and publishers such as DC are putting out high-profile comics once again.

"Sure, I'm 79 years old, but I'm pretty healthy," Thomas says when asked if he was concerned about the health risks. "It was worth the slight risk to me. I was being well paid for flying out to Dallas from South Carolina and back for a four- or five-hour signing." Thomas will remain in self-quarantine for the next few weeks following the event on his South Carolina farm, where he lives with his wife. Thomas did take off his mask for a few pictures with people he knew, but notes wryly, "I did not inhale."
