Mike Mignola was born in 1960 in Berkeley, California and grew up
in nearby Oakland, the eldest son of a tough and leathery
cabinetmaker. His 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.
Besides comic books, Mike worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), as a production designer for the
Disney film Atlantis- The Lost Empire (2001) and was the Visual
Consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002),
Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy 2- The Golden Army (2008).
Mike lives somewhere in Southern California with his wife, daughter
and cat. The author lives in Los Angeles, CA..
