On sale today is Madame Xanadu #26 which features interior art by Charlotte’s own Chrissie Zullo! This issue is written by Matt Wagner with cover art by Mark Buckingham and is the third part of the Extra Sensory storyline and focuses on the sense of smell. The first five parts of this story arc are written by Wagner with art by five different artists (in addition to Zullo, Marley Zarcone, Laurenn McCubbin, Celia Calle and Marian Churchland) and they center around the five senses, but the sixth and final part of this storyline will bring back Amy Reeder and Richard Friend where they will delve into the sixth sense.

Zullo is best known for her Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love covers and this issue of Madame Xanadu is her first published sequential artwork. Her process is pretty incredible. She first paints in black and white then she photographs the work using a high resolution camera (or scans it at a high resolution) then so uploads the image onto her computer where finally she digitally colors it. And if that weren’t enough, for her cover work she often paints the initial image on wood! She is an extremely talented artist. Go check out her art blog for examples of her amazing work!

Also, Chrissie will be signing copies of Madame Xanadu and doing sketches today at Rebel Base Comics and Toys from noon to 6 pm. Stop by and support one of Charlotte’s artists!
