She has known many identities: a Celtic enchantress, oracle in the
court of Kublai Kahn, advisor to Marie Antoinette and fortune-teller in
present day New York. Now Vertigo, the critically acclaimed publisher
of Sandman, Preacher, Fables and Y The Last Man, will detail the
complex origins of one of DC Comics’ most fascinating, enigmatic
characters with MADAME XANADU, a new ongoing comic book series written
by Matt Wagner (GRENDEL, MAGE) and illustrated by Amy Hadley (FOOL’S
GOLD). The project was announced today by Karen Berger, the Senior Vice
President and Executive Editor of Vertigo, during the San Diego Comic
Convention.
Told as a gothic romance and interweaving
elements of history and mythology, MADAME XANADU revisits famous
legends and stories of different eras through Madame Xanadu’s personal
history and her odd connection to the mysterious Phantom Stranger. Who
is she? How did she come to be known as Madame Xanadu? Why is she
connected to so many of history’s most important figures? For the first
time these secrets will be revealed.
