Bob Brynildson, an American comic book store owner, died of lung cancer on October 8, 2026, aged 69.
He owned The Source Comics and Games in Saint Paul, Minnesota, a game store in the Twin Cities, alongside Jerry Corrick. Their business work also extended into publishing.
When Atlas Games lacked the funds to publish On the Edge, Corrick and Brynildson partnered with the company to establish Trident, Inc., a corporation formed to publish the game, which was released in 1994. The venture brought the store’s owners into a publishing arrangement with Atlas Games and provided a way to move the title forward despite the publisher’s funding shortfall. Atlas Games was eventually subsumed into Trident. Brynildson’s career thus connected the operation of a local comics and games retailer with a corporate partnership formed around the publication of a game. The account of his work places him both at the Saint Paul store and in the business effort that helped bring On the Edge to market.
