He was a comics historian, publisher and comic art collector who founded one of the first galleries devoted to comic art and co-founded the OrlandoCon in Florida.

Kennedy are featured in these two originals published in the San Francisco Examiner and other newspapers of the Hearst publishing empire. Hello, Barry?... appeared in January 1964 with a central figure of a fourth President, Lyndon B. Johnson, placing a call to Republican Senator Barry Goldwater, who became his Republican opponent in the 1964 election campaign.
