Yes, it is a crazy story, I know …

I know, it sounds bizarre … but it happened. It was summer 2003, at Universal Studios, in Los Angeles to be precise.

I was in a comic-type shop clasping a Wolverine mug, helpfully pictured above, waiting patiently in line to pay for it.

Suddenly all the shutters came down and there was a massive commotion.

Michael Jackson and his ridiculously huge entourage had just entered the building. He walked near me and started looking at a child’s Hulk outfit.

I was instantly struck by a) how small he was and b) how ghostly white he was.

It was at this point I was told to put down my Wolverine mug and get out.

Outside, I was still buzzing from seeing one of the world’s most famous men.

Then it hit me. My Wolverine mug! The elation instantly evaporated into anger.

I had to go back much later in the day to buy my mug.
