Silver Screen Readers Club in Redondo Beach

Mysterious Galaxy, Wednesday, April 11, 2012 at 5pm

Now Playing: Hellboy

Join us for our inaugural meeting of Mysterious Galaxy’s Silver Screen Readers Club! We’ll be watching films with the same

emphases as our books: mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and horror. We will also spotlight films that were adapted from books and other printed media. After screening the film, we’ll host a lively discussion and announce the next club pick. The Film Club is free to join and everyone is welcome to attend. Our first featured film will be Hellboy, based on the character created by our very special guest Mike Mignola. If you haven’t yet read the Hellboy series, we encourage you to pay a visit to our friends at The Comic Bug and pick up a few of the graphic novels. And while you’re here, don’t forget to grab a copy of Mike’s latest novel, Joe Golem and the drowning city.

Mysterious Galaxy, Tuesday, March 27, 2012 at 7:30pm

Best known for his creation of the character Hellboy, Eisner award-winning illustrator and writer Mike Mignola began his career doing spot illustrations in The Comic Reader. Inspired at the early age of 13 by reading Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Mignola never lost his fascination with ghosts, ghouls and all things supernatural. Since then Mignola has spread his sinister artwork across different genres and mediums including creating award-winning comic books and working as a production designer for Disney’s Atlantis and a visual consultant for Guillermo del Toro. Joe Golem and the drowning city reunites Mignola with award-winning author Christopher Golden for another supernatural thrill ride in this beautifully illustrated novel. A limited number of bookplates signed by Chris will be available.

Spotlight on Mike Mignola

New York Comic Con 2008, Saturday, April 19, 2008 at 12pm

Mike Mignola

Mike Mignola's fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age (he doesn't remember why) and reading Dracula at age 12 introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore from which he has never recovered. After several years of solid work for DC and Marvel, Mike joined several other comic book creators (John Byrne, Frank Miller, Geof Darrow, etc.) to form the Legend imprint at Dark Horse Comics and there he created Hellboy, a tough and leathery occult detective who may or may not be the beast of the apocalypse. There are now 6 Hellboy graphic novels (with more on the way), several spin off titles (Hellboy: Weird Tales, Hellboy Junior, BPRD), 2 anthologies of prose stories, several novels, 2 animated films and now two live action films starring Ron Perlman. Get out your horn grinders, strap yourself in, and welcome the creator of HELLBOY! (lampbane)… (more)
