Fifth Degree: Madame Xanadu Disenchanted


Madame Xanadu Disenchanted

by Josh Crawley

Before I get to the review (and other random bits), I’d like to draw your attention to a couple of people in the industry that are raising funds for some great causes.

Referring to Marshall Dillon as a “fellow letterer” seems a little daunting, but I’ve paid taxes for working on comics, so I’m going to get over it really quick. My fellow letterer Dillon is going to walk 60 miles in three days for this year’s Susan G. Komen 3-Days for the Cure. So not only has he lettered more than me, he’s willing to suffer for a good cause, so he’s better than me, too. The link has plenty of information for various ways to help out.

While I may not always be happy with some of the systems the industry has in place, our store’s Diamond Comics Distributor representative, Sophia Briscoe, is wonderful. She’s raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. As before, check the link for more information!

And yes, I’ll be making my donations shortly. On to the goods!

Fifth Degree: Vertigo Firsts & Free Comics


Vertigo: First Taste

by Josh Crawley

Free comics? Yep! The details are near the end of the column!

What would you do if I told you that for less than $15 (not including shipping, handling, and taxes), that you could read eighteen comics by some of the greatest creators working in comics today (and some other guys, too)?

That’s well over 400 pages of comics! I don’t know about you, but I’d give it a shot!

The Fifth Degree: Will Pfeifer


Catwoman The Replacements

by Josh Crawley

Who am I? I sell comic books.

Whether it’s for Westfield Comics for my paycheck or for my friend Jim Heffron, Lawdog Comics Publisher, at a convention (Windy City Comicon is coming up in just about three weeks), that’s what I do. In my spare time I also letter a funny book story here or there. Once in a very great while I even get the urge to write.
