Title: Madame Xanadu
Description: Suspense fiction. Mystery fiction. Graphic Novel. Writer Matt Wagner redefines the way we think about the five senses in "Extra Sensory," a 6-issue storyline featuring different interior art each issue by some of today's most talented female comics artists and covers by Mark Buckingham (FABLES). This fourth and final volume finds Madame Xanadu in 1963 New York City, where she encounters a young woman from Harlem who sees horrific metamorphoses right in front of her eyes. It all leads to a mind-reading ad executive, a woman who gets visions of her food's demise and a young boy whose powerful sense of smell may hold the key to unlocking a mystery.
