Due to a family medical crisis, I am forced to cancel my appearance at Comic Con Portugal for a second year in a row. Mary and I were looking forward to our trip and hoped to take extra time to explore that beautiful country. I once had a brief 24-hour stopover in Lisbon and have always wanted to return. 

My sincere apologies to the organizers and fans I have disappointed, but I hope you will understand that family must come first. 

I look forward to attending at a later date.

Mike
