Diane Hillegass has been a fixture in Yuma’s gaming and comics community for decades as the owner of Fan-Quest Comics and Games.

Originally from Maryland, Diane moved to Yuma in 1985 and later opened Fan-Quest with her brother in 1990. What began as a gaming space for Dungeons & Dragons and Battletech evolved into Yuma’s go-to spot for comics, tabletop games, tournaments and community events.

Diane has built more than just a store — she’s created a hub for gamers and collectors while also giving back through charity drives, including monthly fundraising drawings and events like the upcoming charity auction supporting Penny’s Pantry and the Humane Society.
