Hundreds of people lined out the door of Hypno Comics in Ventura, California waiting to meet Chuck Palahniuk, author of books like Fight Club and Lullaby and get their copies of his new graphic novel, Fight Club 2 signed. I was lucky enough to work the event and have a couple wonderful experiences with Chuck.
Let me start off by saying that Chuck is a very nice and down to earth guy. He wasn’t late for the signing like some famous types. In fact, he even arrived at the event before I did.
I had him sign a few items for me throughout the day and he seemed so genuine every time I spoke with him.
Now lets get to the actual signing, as I said before we had tons of people lined out the doors waiting to meet him. The event was sold out but we had many people trying to get in anyway throughout the day.
I expected that I would have to deal with a few crazy fans but everyone there was great and had a mutual love for Chuck.
We had many fans give him items to show their appreciation and one was especially cool that I will show down below. Chuck spent a few minutes with each person and signed what they had and took photos where he either pretended to fight them or choke them. From what I heard from the fans who walked through, they all loved those photo ops and everyone walked out happy
.
I can’t state it enough how nice and genuine Chuck was. I suggest you all pick up a copy of the Fight Club 2 graphic novel. It’s a great read for any comic fan, fan of the film/book or a fan of Chuck. And heck if you’re in California, go check out Hypno Comics and you’ll probably see me and my buddies working there.
