The man behind the annual Pittsburgh Comicon has been arrested for murdering his first wife execution-style 17 years ago in Michigan.
His 32-year-old wife, Barbara Marie George, was shot in the head in 1990 in the Comics World store they owned in Clinton Township, north of Detroit.
Her body was found in the shop she had closed that day to surprise Michael George on his 30th birthday, The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens reported.
Comic books valued at $30,000 were taken.
Michael George moved to Pennsylvania following his wife’s death. He opened another Comics World shop in Windber, Pa.
Clinton Township detectives reopened the case in January.
Not only did he open another Comics World in Windber, he also eventually opened one in Chambersburg. It’s where I buy my comics every week. George eventually sold the Chambersburg store, but it retained the name.

Weird. And to think that all along I believed his story that Mysterio killed his wife. That lying bastard!
17 years is a long time to solve a murder.
Gross.
Yeah, I get the same feeling about O’Hara. But you have to remember to cut him some slack- he’s Canadian.
Schooly, remember in that interview I did with you, when you you were telling about how you love to eat your cats diarrhea? That was very edifying.
That’s disgusting! I demand that you clarify that I said “stray cats.”
To imply that I eat my own cat’s feces is immoral.
My apologies.
What sweet justice for the family after all these years. He lived off of her life insurance and thought he was going to get away with it.
I knew him… went to school with his daughter.
Wow.
I still remember when we were 6 years old and she told me her mother was shot when she was 2….

Be more shocked that he could take a mother away from his daughters that were then 3 and 5 years old. I feel bad for them. Barbie was my cousin and we pretty much thought he did it all along.
i think he coached me in basketball when i was younger……………
Thank GOD this murderer was caught!!! 17 years, I am sure he thought he got away with it, but now he’ll hopefully get what he deserves. Unfortunatley he robbed a woman of her life and children of their mother.

Honeybee, he hasn’t actually been convicted, but I entirely know what you mean. BTW, the store is still there in Chambersburg under different ownership. I was just there this afternoon.
