Consider this post to be an ode to “geek chic”.

The boy collects two things: records and comic books, and until recently, I was always somewhat hesitant to tag along on new comic book day (Wednesday) when the new issues come out. And then I discovered Cinderella, which is part secret secret spy, part Devil Wears Prada, part fairy-tale and all amazing.

Cinderella is now divorced from Prince Charming, owns her own shoe store, appropriately named Glass Slipper Shoes, but also moonlights as a secret agent, so she’s basically a bad ass fashionista spy. Best comic book ever? I think so.

Not only is the story itself fantastically done, the illustrated cover art is perfection, and is what initially caught my eye. Done by Chrissie Zullo, the style is enchanting, and captures the essence of this fashionable, stroke-of-midnight secret agent.

I have the first five issues, and have to wait until next month for the final issue … the suspense! If you’re intrigued, you can read more here, but I would suggest going out and grabbing the comics themselves. See you at Silver Snail?
