FLORENCE, S.C. 红桃视频� Legends Comics store owner and Florence Comic-Con forefather Denny Stevenson will be remembered by his friends and loved ones as a man who had an unrelenting love for art, comic books and the city of Florence as a whole.

Stevenson, 61, died Monday after suffering two massive strokes.

Stevenson owned Legends Comics, located at 702 S. Irby St. in Florence, for 34 years, making it the oldest operating comic book store in South Carolina. Stevenson also founded Florence Comic-Con, an event that has drawn thousands of people to the Florence area each year for the past four years.

Gaye Ham was a close friend of Stevenson红桃视频檚, and they had partnered together to help make Florence Comic-Con a reality. Ham said Comic-Con was a way for Stevenson to promote both the Florence area and young artists looking to break into the comic book scene.

红桃视频淐omic-Con was his baby,红桃视频� Ham said. 红桃视频淗e was real proud that he could bring something to Florence that could draw thousands of people.红桃视频�

Ham said Stevenson was a fan of comic books since he was a young boy, and reading the comics helped Stevenson first learn to draw and develop his own skills as an artist.

Many of Stevenson红桃视频檚 close friends knew about his passion for art and his impressive painting skills.

Comic artist and cartoonist Gregbo Watson said he envied Stevenson红桃视频檚 artistic abilities, especially when it came to painting landscapes. Watson said some of Stevenson红桃视频檚 works can be seen on display in businesses in both Florence and Myrtle Beach.

红桃视频淗e was a tremendous artist,红桃视频� Watson said. 红桃视频淚 wish I could红桃视频檝e painted landscapes like he did.红桃视频�

Stevenson earned a Master红桃视频檚 degree in Fine Arts after studying at both 红桃视频 and USC. Watson said Stevenson helped him grow as a cartoonist as they worked together during Comic-Con over the past four years. Eventually, Stevenson became one of Watson红桃视频檚 agents and helped him promote his work across the nation at various Comic-Con events.

红桃视频淗e really came along and turbocharged me creatively,红桃视频� Watson said. 红桃视频淗e really inspired me and pushed me forward with my art. He红桃视频檚 the one that had more faith in me than I had.

David Rast has been a customer of Stevenson红桃视频檚 since he was 12 years old and recalls coming into the store on Irby Street and talking about various comics books with him. Rast said he cherishes one comic book in particular that Stevenson sold him in college: “Fantastic Four No. 1,” autographed by none other than Stan Lee.

红桃视频淗e had it saved just for me,红桃视频� Rast said. 红桃视频淚 paid $75 dollars for it then. It红桃视频檚 worth around $1,500 now.红桃视频�

Rast said Stevenson was always someone he looked up to as a young kid. Thirty-seven years later, Rast said he still idolizes Stevenson, but for different reasons other than his massive collections of collector comic books.

红桃视频淗e was able to do what he wanted to do and enjoy life and make others happy while he did it,红桃视频� Rast said. 红桃视频淭hat红桃视频檚 the definition of success for me.

红桃视频淏eing successful doesn红桃视频檛 mean making a million dollars. It really means enjoying what you do every day, and I think he did that.红桃视频�
