Matt Streets - Manager
Matt started his Graham Crackers sentence in 2000. In late 2001 he came aboard full-time and was promoted to Assistant (to the) Manager. After almost 7 long years, he has now gotten the call to the Big Game. Haaaave you met Matt Streets: Manager? Matt still loves tearing register receipts and knows way more than you about comics (and bands) you've never heard of. Also, 80's night is the Right Night for Matt Streets: Man of Action, Romance and Danger.

Shana Berry - Assistant Manager
Daughter of Jean Gray and Jesse Custer, Shanna was kidnapped and taken to the future by Warren Ellis who corrupted her mind with government conspiracies and mind altering drugs. She currently works at Graham Crackers Comics constantly updating her magnificent window display.

Tony Valdez
Congratulations to our very own Sunday guy, Tony Valdez, on the birth of his second daughter, Teah Renne! Teah joins big sis Myah Rose and proud mom Dana in the now-one-member-greater Valdez clan. Guaranteed future employees of our Loop store! Teah is now the second child of any GC Chicago Loop employee--that we know of. Way to go, Tony!! Now let Dana rest, will ya??

Andy Cole
Andy can get us tickets to any sporting event in the city. That's why Andy has a job. Oh, sure, he's friendly, personable and genuinely nicer than all of us. Yes, he's been reading comics for a billion years and has a pretty hefty Silver Age collection. And he collects original comic book art too, but the tickets, see? That's the hook. Andy also loves "Pulling Club" more than he'd admit and no, that is NOT a euphemism, so...

Samantha LaFountain
Count Sam-U-El stepped out of a 1926 movie palace and into our hearts. From the East Coast, Sam has all of the attitude of a Jersey Girl but, thankfully, none of the accent. Her classic sensibilities and gives-as-good-as-she-gets delivery combine to form a 5'0" coiled spring of unpredictability, sarcasm and dedication. Just, for the love of G-d, don't ask her to go to Jamba Juice...

Tom Gronkowski
Tom has a last name, but we affectionately refer to him only as "Gronk." While not completely enamored by that, he begrudgingly accepts it. Gronk never used to talk when he was just a customer. Now that he's an employee, we kind of miss those bygone days. Just kidding, buddy! When not reading comics Gronk goes to that there genius school on the south side where we're doing our best to make sure he blows the grading curve for all his fellow students.
