COMMISSIONS SKETCH & BOOK PACKAGE is back for a limited time
I’m once again offering the CHRIS G SKETCH & BOOK PACKAGE at my webstore for a limited time.
For the next two weeks, you can order an original single-figure character sketch (character of your choice), plus a copy of the now out-of-print first edition digest of G-MAN, VOLUME 1: LEARNING TO FLY, plus a copy of the G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS #1 comic for a flat rate of $25 shipped. ($25 in USA, $30 in Canada, $45 elsewhere).
The sketches will be black and white on 8.5″ x 11″ paper with archival quality black ink (example sketch pictured). For an extra $10, I’ll color that sketch in with real crayons. The G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS #1 comic is an encore edition second printing featuring a recolored “red” cover.
This offer will be available up through the end of August 25th. The packages will be shipped no later than September 1rst.
Please head over to the the ChrisGcomics store and place an order now!
G-MAN and NATE BANKS collections
After the original digest release of G-MAN, volume 1: LEARNING TO FLY, many readers suggested releasing the next collection in a larger-than-digest format. And so, G-MAN, Volume 2: CAPE CRISIS will be in a larger, 6″ x 9″ format, substantially larger than the previous digest format. While we’re at it, I’m going back to press with a new edition of Volume 1, also in the new 6″ x 9″ format.
Both G-Man collections will be available this September. Stores are ordering September books now, so now is the time to tell stores to order you copies. Feel free to print out the jpeg above to show stores what you want. These G-Man collections will be available in regular book stores in addition to comic stores.
And available NOW are the first two books in the AMAZING ADVENTURES OF NATE BANKS series:
Nate Banks is the biggest authority on comic books and the very real superheroes that exist in his world. And Nate’s life is about to get a lot more exciting when his home town gets its very own superhero, the mysterious new ULTRAVIOLET! This is a series of young-readers novels written by author Jake Bell, and each book has an 8-page comic book insert to supplement the main story of the novel. I’m drawing the comic inserts, as well as the covers of the books. As I mentioned before, these books are available at bookstores right now. Feel free to print out the jpeg above to show stores what you want.

GRAPHIC NOVEL SPECTACULAR
I’ll be at the bookstore WORD in Brooklyn this Saturday for the GRAPHIC NOVEL SPECTACULAR, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.
I’ll be joining Eric Wight (Frankie Pickle and the Closet of Doom), Frank Cammuso (Knights of the Lunch Table), Jarrett Krosoczka (Lunch Lady and the Summer Camp Shakedown), and Matt Phelan (The Storm in the Barn) for an afternoon of readings, improvisational drawing and activities.
Don’t miss it, Brooklyn (and other NYC boroughs — I mean, hop on a train, right?)!
Also… LAST DAY TO PRE-ORDER THE READING WITH PICTURES ANTHOLOGY!

final week to order reading with pictures
People love to say, “there needs to be more all-ages comics out there.“ I say there’s plenty.
Like what?
The upcoming READING WITH PICTURES anthology is going to be filled with 192 pages of all-ages comics by over 50 of today’s established all-ages cartoonists, including my new 8-page G-Man story, “Reign of the Robo-Teachers.”
How much does it cost? How can I get a copy?
The softcover price will be $17.99, but you can get a signed copy for only $15 if you pre-order now at the Reading With Pictures Kickstarter page.
Is there a discount if I want to order multiple copies for my classroom/school/library/store?
YES! You can order the Classroom Package — 30 copies of the book for only $325, and also receive 30 bookmarks and a poster as well! You don’t even need to have an actual classroom! Just place your order at the Reading With Pictures Kickstarter page.
