Fans eagerly waited for autographs, deals, and freebies in a line winding around the store and out down the sidewalk at The Comic Bug in Manhattan Beach, CA. Owners Jun Goeku, seen in the Comic Bug’s “I’m Infected” t-shirt, and Mike Wellman, sporting a Wonder Man-inspired getup, and their team of dedicated volunteers kept the crowds organized, the mood excited, and the comics well-stocked.

Co-owner Mike Wellman wore a casual-style Wonder Man costume while calling out the raffle winners of two $100 shopping sprees. The Flash and Wonder Woman struck a pose for justice and metallic spandex.
