www.icv2.com/articles/news/30392.htmlComicsPRO Ex-Director Identified Under Investigation ComicsPRO has removed the name of the director under investigation for embezzlement from its website. Gary Dills of Phoenix Comics and Toys, listed as a director as recently as last Friday, is no longer on the site, and has been identified in a communication to the organization’s membership as the director who resigned and is being investigated. Dills was a member of the comics retailer organization’s founding board in 2005 , and has also been an officer . Dills' retail operation has stores in Northern Virginia and Columbus, Ohio. The most common reaction we hear to the news is disappointment, a sentiment we share.
