Madness Games and Comics had actors 10 people signing at their
store on Free Comicbook Day. It was a mix of Power Rangers, Star Trek, and Star
Wars. I was interested in Julie Dolan and
Matthew Wood from the Star Wars universe.
I got to the event a few hours after it started and people were
still in line getting their free comics and in line to meet the celebs. I was not
the oldest person in the room. However, I was skewing the average toward the end
of the curve.
I picked up Matthew first. We talked about lunch (we were
both hungry) and what the store was going to feed them.
Julie was friendly. Since she was a ‘princess’, there was a slight
line for her. I was definitely the oldest person in her line. As she signed,
she switched pens. An odd thing to do. I’m
assuming it was to make the character name stand out.
PS I don’t read comic. I never thought to go through the line
to pick out free comics to read. These comics
are specifically printed for this day and are handed out free to the public. As I was updating The Wife on my success, she
asked if I got any of the comics. Of course
I said ‘no’. Then she reminded me that
our friends visiting us from out of town do read comics and they are busy at
another event. The Wife made me go back in and pick out some comic books for my
friends. She is a good person.
