Mike Mignola Signing @ Phat Collectibles

Meeting the creator of such a popular character like „HELLBOY“ is always an honor for a geek-girl like me.

So on December 8, 2012 I had the opportunity to meet Mike Mignola at the Phat Collectibles store in Anaheim, CA.

When I arrived in the morning the line was already super long and so there was no chance of getting free stuff this time.

While I was waiting for my number get called for the signing I was shopping around and through that got a bunch of tickets for the raffle that was going on. This time I got really lucky there.

Since I won one of the really rare Headsketches in the raffle I got to cut in line and get all the comics signed really fast.

Mike Mignola really cherishes his fans. That's at least the impression I got at the signing and that is what I really love about the comic scene.

Also PhatCollectibles did an awesome job again with the signing and the Cosplayers were really entertaining as well. And don't forget to check out the pictures of the Event on the Phat Collectibles Facebookpage.

I just can't wait to visit both locations of Phat Collectibles again in the future. This is a comic store I really miss.

Xoxo,

Daniel Way Signing @ Phat Collectibles

On November 17, 2012 I attended the Daniel Way signing at Phat Collectibles in Huntington Beach.

On the same day there was also a huge SALE going on where you could get old comics and pretty new back issues for cheap. So the store was really well visited.

As one of the first 15 people that arrived there for the signing we got a ticket for a free “Deadpool” Headsketch by "Jed Thomas".

On a side note: Jed is one of the nicest and most talented people I had the honor to meet. You should really check out his work & his homepage.

But the main person that day was writer “Daniel Way”. He wrote stories for “Wolverine: Origins”, “Deadpool” and many more.

Since there was no limit on comics you could get signed some people came with huge piles of comics to get them signed. And Daniel Way was such a sweetheart and signed every comic with such a patience, talked to the fans and took pictures with them.

I took the following comics to get signed:

After I got the free Deadpool Headsketch from Jed Thomas I also purchased an awesome Deadpool poster plus a Headsketch of Ms. Marvel.

During all the shopping and waiting I met this awesome guy by the name of LJ. He is as addicted to comics as I am and talking to him was really fun. Check out his YouTube Channel. He put up some nice Videofootage of the Daniel Way signing.

And yeah if you’re ever in SoCal go to Phat Collectibles. The store is just too amazing and their events are always really well organized. They have 2 Stores, one in Anaheim and another one in Huntington Beach. Both stores are really nice, but the one in Anaheim is bigger. You should check out both since they both have their own character.
