About the author

As a boy growing up in New Jersey, Christian Slade carried his sketchbook everywhere he went. It was said that he sometimes lived in another world, and it was this other world within the pages of his sketchbook that inspired him to draw from his imagination and the world around him. After thirty years, not much has changed. A former Disney animator and currently a full-time freelance illustrator, Christian has embarked upon his very first all-ages graphic novel series, Korgi. Christian currently lives in Orlando with his wife, Ann, and their two Welsh corgis, Penny and Leo.

Christian Slade has a B.F.A. from the University of Central Florida, an M.A. from Syracuse University, a health collection of comic books, way too many sci-fi toys, and a giant rubber tarantula. He keeps all this stuff in a little studio where he draws at the desk he used as a Disney Animator.

Korgi is Christian's very first all-ages graphic novel series. He currently lives in Florida with his wife Ann, their toddler twins Kate and Nate, and their Welsh corgis Penny and Leo.

Reviews

[Lynxie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Only being 10,000 words makes this tale just the right size to finish up in an hour or so. It was enjoyable, though I don't suggest reading it over lunch if you have a weak stomach...

I think the idea behind this story has been done-to-death a bit in the movies of late (over the last few years - 28 Days later and I am legend to name a couple), but this story does have it's own uniqueness! It had enough of the right stuff and enough of it's own ideas that I found it enjoyable, though, perhaps a little too short.

Thanks for the tasty tidbit Christian.
