Charles Fischer Manager of Sector 2814
After escaping from a dying planet of boredom and darkness as a
child, Charles was given a power ring that gifted him wonderful powers of
unending enthusiasm for all things comics. He uses this super power to sell
awesome comics to awesome people (or at least tell semi-cool people about the
awesome comics they should be buying; or at least should be reading). He even
helps the poor souls find these comics on the rack when they forget the
alphabet. Charles plans to spread his deep love of comics to everyone and
everything whether they want it or not. His never ending battle against bad
artwork, social injustice and poorly adapted comic movies continues to this day.
Kevin Healy
Kevin has been drinking from the Graham Crackers teat since
Lyle's Hobbies (the only store with the good sense to write their back issue
prices right on the comic!) closed when he was in middle school. He's the
first employee to be hired solely for geographical convenience, since everyone
who worked there was driving at least an hour each way at the time. He's
been with our DeKalb store since it opened in April 1999, splitting time
occasionally with someone once-named 'Shawn' in our Bolingbrook store. He's a
Vir-GO, not a vir-GIN, and should never be asked about the inking of Vince
Colleta in polite company. Kevin is also the average weight for his height
if he were taller, and can ramble about anything while writing to the point of
distraction. (Warning....mention Star Wars at your own risk. He thinks
there should have been more political scenes in the prequels.)
Christopher Bernd
President of the Avengers Fan Club (Rockford Local Chapter 308),
Christopher spends most of his time working at Wizard World ChicagoCon and not
the store. With his undying love of all things Avengers, Punisher,
Deadpool, and Hellboy, Christopher constantly battles to find the time to read
all of his comics, collect a metric ton of awesome action figures, and to make
fantastic dioramas of all his custom figures. And in his free time he likes to
train his 2 pugs and birds to battle the forces of Cobra, an evil terrorist
organization.

Store Testimonial #1:
I was just in the
DeKalb store and I wanted everyone to know how awesome the customer
service was! I have a little boy that I'm trying to get into
reading, the programs offered for the little ones and the eagerness
of the sales associates was bar none!

Store Testimonial #2:
I just wanted to
take a second and tell you how pleased I was with my service at the
Graham Crackers Comics in DeKalb. I just graduated from
Northern Illinois University this spring, and for the entire time I
attended, Graham Crackers Comics DeKalb was my comic book store.
They are really great there. They always made me feel welcome.
They remembered my name, even though it is really hard to say.
They always dealt with my frequent changes to my pull list with, and
never complained. I never once didn't get a comic that I
wanted. But most amazing of all, they learned what comics I
liked, and saved them for me just in case I didn't know they were
coming out. For instance, when Ultimatum #4 came out, they
saved me a copy of the "Peter Parker RIP variant," instead of the
regular cover, knowing that I would want that one. I was a big
Spider-Man and Flash fan, and they always saved variant covers for
me, even if I didn't ask for them. They knew I would want
them. They truly were great there, and I'm sorry that I had to
move away. If the Metra West Line went one more stop out to
DeKalb, I would take it out there every Wednesday, and continue to
get my comics from them.
They run a great comic book store there, and they deserve some good
praise.
