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!

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.

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?)!
