When I heard Michael Jackson had died, this page from Nexus #4 suddenly popped into my head, out of nowhere.
The story, called "The Ziggurat," is about with a floating pyramid that's powered by an alien sun. It was written by Mike Baron and drawn by Steve Rude.
I then went online to find out details about the Jackson incident and heard that the supervising LAFD paramedic on the scene was named Steve Ruda.
Tears aside, I thought this was as good a eulogy as any for the role Michael Jackson played in the golden age of American pop...
