Customer of the Month

Comics & Classics loves its customers! Beginning with Free Comic Book Day, May 3rd, we initiated our Customer of the Month drawing. Each month we will choose one customer's name from those submitted during the month prior. That lucky customer wins a $10.00 gift certificate (and during May won a Spidey basket won during a drawing at the American Cancer Society Relay for Life Event).

This month's lucky winner based on last month's entries is Brent Hawkins! Congrats to Brent! Posted below are six questions we asked Brent. Of course being a former school teacher, I couldn't let him get away without an assignment first.

1. Who is your favorite superhero or character in a book/comic and why?

Wolverine, because his is an unstoppable force of nature.

2. If you could have any superpowers, what would they be?

Flying ability, healing factor & super strength.

3. What is the best comic or book you've read recently?

War World Hulk

4. You're asked to create a comic, what is the most creative hero or power you can imagine?

Same as question #2

5. What's on your IPod playlist?

Hip Hop & R & B

6. Zombies are attacking, how do you defend yourself?

Run faster to the gun store than the person next to me!

Thanks, Brent, for supporting your local independent book and comic store and to all our customers who have supported us through our first eight months in business. We love ya'll! Be sure to come in and submit your name for June's Customer of the Month.
