BEAR RIDING COWBOY SPOTTED AT DEARBORN COMIC STORE
ARTIST CELEBRATES NEW PRINTING OF COMICS WITH SIGNING AT GREEN BRAIN COMICS

[MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, DEARBORN, MI] Green Brain Comics is proud to announce an appearance by cartoonist Chris Houghton on Wednesday, February 10th at 4pm. Chris will be signing copies of his comic book series REED GUNTHER, which features the adventures of Reed and his best friend Sterling the bear.

Chris Houghton is a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit and a freelance illustrator. Along with his brother Shane, the two have created a big buzz around their comic series REED GUNTHER. “Chris was a guest at Green Brain on Free Comic Book Day in 2009 when REED GUNTHER was just a gleam in his eye.” says event coordinator Dan Merritt “And since then he and his brother Shane have self-published three issues of the series which has become one of our best selling all-ages comic books.”

Reed Gunther is a goofy and exciting all ages comic book independently created and produced by brothers Shane and Chris Houghton. Follow Reed Gunther and his trusty bear, Sterling, as they ride through the adventurous Old West! Whether they’re battling supernatural monsters, tracking down slimy villains, or catching a runaway train… you can bet they wish they were doing something else!

Among the comics available at the signing will be new printings of the first two issues “ Reed Gunther and the Steak Snacking Snake!” and “Reed Gunther in a Stalac-TIGHT Spot!“. Not only are these great fun and essential parts of the Reed Gunther mythos, but they also feature brand newcovers.

Chris Houghton will be signing from 4pm to 7pm. The signing will be followed by the Green Brain Comics Jam, a monthly gathering of local cartoonists. If you’re an aspiring cartoonist, bring your favorite pen and join in the fun of improvised comic pages. All are welcome and light snacks will be provided by your hosts.

Green Brain Comics is located at 13210 Michigan Avenue in East Downtown Dearborn. For more information check the website at http://www.greenbrain.biz or call 313-582-9444

Hey guys,

While we’re making some changes to the website, you may have noticed a new cover for Reed Gunther in a Stalac-TIGHT Spot.

Here is the brand new cover in all it’s new-ness:

Issue 2’s with this cover are not available just yet, but we did just send in an order to the printer so we should have copies with this fantastic new cover soon enough!

And again, sorry for the messy site, but we’ll get things fixed up!  We promise!

Chris and I are trying out some new ideas with the site and we apologize if it looks a little messy right now!

We wanted to change the site to have more of a “web comic” feel to it, where we can release pages of Reed right up at the top for people to check out and come back every couple of days to read a new page.  So right now, we’re experimenting with issue #1.

But with a new site (which will look a heck of a lot better in the near future), we’ll have all sorts of cool new things to check out!  Right now, you can see all of the pin ups from issues 1 and 2 in the Pin Ups section!

We’re working on ironing out the wrinkles and making everything look pretty, but for now, enjoy the new stuff!

Hey everyone!

We received some really fantastic submission to the Reed Gunther Fill in the Word Balloon Contest, but we had to narrow it down to just two winners.

The Grand Prize Winner and the receiver an autographed issue of Reed Gunther in Trains, Reigns, and Pains!, Reed Gunther Pins, and an original drawing of your choice by Reed Gunther artist, Chris Houghton, is none other than… ANDREW ADAMS!

Andrew’s submission for the original Fill in the Word Balloon contest won the second place, runner up prize, but that was not enough!  Driven by his non-first place win, Andrew vowed to come in first next time!  Which he totally did and really pulled out all the stops by not only submitted a hilarious take on Reed, but also by doing it in full color!  Wowee!  Great work Andrew and thanks for the hilarious gags!

Now on to our still awesome second place runner up and the receiver of an autographed issue of Reed Gunther in Trains, Reigns, and Pains!…  Jeremy LaPeer!

Check out this great new cover Chris cooked up for the 2nd printing of Reed Gunther and the Steak Snacking Snake!

Copies of issue 1 with this cover are not available just yet, but we’ll be sure to let you know when you can pick up this now classic (yeah, right) first issue!

And just a heads up, we’re quickly selling out of issue 2 and we may be reprinting that issue with a new cover as well, but if you would like a copy of the 1st edition, those are currently available in the Online Store!
