Jesse James Comics shop in Glendale, AZ is more than just a hub for up-and-coming indie Phoenix comic artist, enthusiastic cosplayers, eager fans, and established local professionals. It’s a family. Jesse James Criscione is one of those crazy shop owners that works 40+ hours to go above and beyond for his customers, and this is just another example of his big heart.
Criscione collected a number of original art and some rare variant comics to auction on eBay to cover funeral expenses for Raven Gregory’s ex-wife that was taken in a hit-and-run accident.

There are number of goodies like a signed John Romita and Stan Lee Amazing Spider-Man artist edition book.
