Comic books originally started out for the kids. Part of the entire uproar around the pulps was the notion that the superhero images and violence would warp young boys' minds. That led to some censorship and book burnings which is never fun for anyone. So it's refreshing to see that despite the maturity of comics these days, there are some out there still focused on kids. This August, Image Comics brings another one of those back in the form of G-Man.
G-Man: Cape Crisis will pick up with the ending of the upcoming G-Man: Learning to Fly. Pieces of G-Man's cape have fallen into the wrong hands, and that's a problem when the cape is the source of his powers. He must enlist the help of his friends to get his cape back, but it's an uphill battle seeing as how the villains now have the powers. Chris Giarrusso is excited as well.
"Getting to work on G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS has been a long time coming," Giarrusso said. "I had a great time working on MINI-MARVELS while it lasted, but I've also had some G-MAN stories I've wanted to tell for a while. Short MINI-MARVELS back-up strips are always fun, but with G-MAN, I finally have the opportunity to tell brand new full-length feature stories in full comics. This is the most ambitious project I've ever worked on. Fans of the kid super hero stuff I did in MINI MARVELS will be sure to enjoy the all-new kid super hero stuff I'm doing in G-MAN. The writing style and art style are identical - it's the same writer and artist, after all! I'm having a blast, and I hope MINI MARVELS fans will take a chance and check it out."
G-Man: Cape Crisis #1, the first of the five-issue miniseries, will be available in stores August 12th for $2.99. The G-Man: Learning to Fly digest will be 96 pages of goodness in softcover for $9.99 on May 20th.

PRESS RELEASE - CHRIS GIARRUSSO'S G-MAN FLIES AGAIN THIS AUGUST!
MINI-MARVELS creator Chris Giarrusso brings back his creator owned hit in G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS!
12 May 2009 (Berkeley, CA) - G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS, an all-new mini-series by MINI-MARVELS' cartoonist Chris Giarrusso, brings back everyone's favorite kid friendly superhero to the Image Universe this August!
"Getting to work on G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS has been a long time coming," Giarrusso said. "I had a great time working on MINI-MARVELS while it lasted, but I've also had some G-MAN stories I've wanted to tell for a while.

The writing style and art style are identical - it's the same writer and artist, after all! I'm having a blast, and I hope MINI MARVELS fans will take a chance and check it out."
G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS begins shortly after the ending to the upcoming G-MAN: LEARNING TO FLY digest, with pieces of G-MAN’s magic cape falling into the wrong hands and things spinning out of control. G-MAN and his friends must battle to recover the pieces, but this time, the bad guys have the same powers as G-MAN! The five issue mini-series will shed a whole new light on the G-MAN universe with friends old and new coming to the fold for his biggest adventure yet.
Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson added, "Chris' sense of humor and cartooning give G-MAN an appeal to both children and adults alike akin to Pixar's INCREDIBLES or WALL*E. We're very proud to have G-MAN as part of the Image Comics library."
G-MAN: CAPE CRISIS #1, a 32-page full color comic book mini-series for $2.99, will be in-stores August 12th, 2009. G-MAN: LEARNING TO FLY (MAR092415), a 96-page full color digest-sized softcover for $9.99, will be in-stores May 20th, 2009.
