If you&#8217;ve ever had a free table at Fallcon or Springcon, you can thank Nick. If you&#8217;ve ever had the Source buy ten of your comics sight unseen, you can thank Nick. Many of the Cartoonist Conspiracy&#8217;s projects would not have been possible without his support&#8230; for one example, the Midwest Comic Book Association and The Source funded the vast majority of the BIG FUNNY project under Nick&#8217;s influence. Nick was incredibly generous and incredibly genuine. He was a retailer, but he never stopped being a comic fan. Boy, will he ever be missed.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Postiglione, Dominic J. &#8220;Nick Post&#8221; Age 52, of St. Paul. Passed away too soon on Aug-ust 8, 2014. Survived by beloved son, Adam; parents, Bill and Judy &#8220;Eunice&#8221;; siblings, Gaby, Tony and Greg; many nieces, nephews, co-workers and minions. Nick was a larger than life Cretin grad, was active in the comic book world and a State Fair icon. Memorial service 11 AM Tuesday, August 12 at CORNERSTONE BIBLE CHURCH, 735 East 10th St., Hastings. Visitation at the church from 10-11 AM Tuesday.
