Chris Yambar                            Book List

Chris Yambar is one of the most prolific creative forces in modern pop culture.  Unlike others in the creative arts, he has been able to create an enormous catalog of work in the following mediums: painting, writing, cartooning, publishing, designing, and recording, all of which have been met with staggering results. 

In addition to writing for such popular comic titles as Bart Simpson Comics, Radioactive Man, I Dream of Jeannie, and Mister Magoo, Chris is the award winning creator of numerous characters of his own design including the likes of Mr.Beat, El Mucho Grande - Wrestler For Hire, Spells, Suicide Blonde, Itsi Kitsi - Happy Adventure Cat, The Twerp, The Fire-Breathing Pope, Bambeano Boy, Edison's Frankenstein 1910 and many others! Currently he's begun work on his first autobiographical book which he plans to title: 'Growing Up Pop - The Joys of a Misspent Youth.' Look out readers! Chris is one dangerously fun guest author!
