The Comic Book Guide to the Mission

by Chuck Whelon | Posted on February 12, 2011August 26, 2024

I was honored to be asked to create this cover art for “The Comic Book Guide to the Mission“, since the book features work by so many great local cartoonists from the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s available at http://www.skodaman.com. As you can see, I had a lot of fun with it and this piece ended up leading to all the other search-and-find work I’ve done. A slightly altered version of the image also appears in my book “Where’s Itsy Bitsy Spider?“, so now you can play “spot-the-difference”.

Read “Imgine No Cars”, the first story from the anthology by First Cultural Industries here: https://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~atwu/firstcultural/imagine-no-cars.html

About the author

I am an internationally published author and cartoonist. I am the creator, artist and writer of "Pewfell", a semi-autobiographical, epic fantasy sit-com that began it’s life on the interweb back in the early 2000’s.

I have created a large number of children's puzzle and activity books for various publishers, I also designed and illustrated the comic boardgame "Legitimacy" published by Minion Games, and have illustrated a number of other boardgames for Minion.

I am also known as the cartoonist for Goodman Game's 'Dungeon Crawl Classics' Role Playing Game. I am also the author of a puzzle book for kids called 'Wizard Pickles'--if you would like to publish it, let me know!

In my previous life, Chuck worked as an art director in the advertising world but I promises that I won’t do it again.

I was born and raised near the Basingstoke roundabout, but now live in San Francisco, CA.
