Otherwise, the only other book I've had signed is the Shang Chi: Battleworld tpb.


That's the entire art team: penciler Dalibor Talajic, inker Goran Sudzuka and colorist Miroslav Mrva. That was pretty easy, since I know all three of them, and they often all three work in the same studio here in Zagreb. When I used to work for Croatian Radio, I did a few pieces about them, including a bit on the Shang Chi book.

Strangely enough I have never sought out or purchased ANY comic book signatures. I have a small batch because others have gotten them for me as birthday or Christmas gifts though. My favorite signature has to be though not for a comic book but a comic strip. A Physical Therapist i worked with back in the late 90's bought a framed original Spider-man comic strip which was signed by the strips writer Stan Lee and drawn by the artist and brother of Lee: Larry Leiber. That hangs proudly upon my wall. I couldn't even tell you any of the names of the signed comics I have. I would have to dig them out and look.

In my medical profession I have met and spoken with many a famous person and in my role I have to treat them as "normal" folks and give them assistance and guidance and be star struck during my interactions with them. This has carried over into my collecting persona: I have met and spoken with LOTS of comic book writers and artists and television/movie stars and NEVER have i asked for their signatures. I do this as a sign of respect and appreciation of them. I treat them as special and speak with them and express my fondness and gratitude for all they have done and than them greatly for speaking with me. It means much more for me to have met and shared time with these phenomenal people than to ask for or buy a signature from them. Time well spent in discussion remains in my heart and thoughts longer with more meaning than a hastily scribbled name...
