AUG 2025 - It's Go Time!
It’s finally here! August! I can finally say that Go-Man: Champion of Earth is coming out at the end of this month! If you have preordered the book already - thank you so much! If you haven’t yet - there’s still plenty of time!
In this email I will be detailing some of the release plans for my new book! Here are the headlines:
GO-MAN Digital Launch with Mysterious Galaxy
GO-MAN London Launch at Gosh! Comics
Other Go-Man UK Events
Super Mario Moment Continues
GO-MAN DIGITAL LAUNCH WITH MYSTERIOUS GALAXY
Because I was unable to come to the US this year, I am partnering with the incredible Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore for a digital event on August 30th at 11:00 AM PT!
The event will be a Q&A and draw along, where I will show you how to draw all the characters from the book and how I typically create a page of the comic!
Mysterious Galaxy will also be giving out exclusive signed bookplates for those who order books from Mysterious Galaxy. Simply write "signed bookplate" in the order comments at checkout to reserve your copy!
See a preview of the bookplate below!

GO-MAN LONDON LAUNCH AT GOSH! COMICS
For those in London or the UK however, I will be doing an in-person signing launch party on August 28th at 7pm!
If you have Facebook, please consider registering your interest in coming here: https://fb.me/e/5ZCk0twft
And I can reveal there may be a special guest attending this event…
OTHER UK EVENTS
I can confirm that I will be attending MCM London Comic Con on October 24-26th, and Thought Bubble Festival on November 15th and 16th in Harrogate. I will have Go-Man, along with DeadEndia and much more at all these events.
But I am working to also get a tour of the Travelling Man stores in Leeds, Newcastle, York and Manchester sorted out for around September. So please stay tuned!
If you would like me to come to your local comic store, book store, convention or event - please contact those places and ask for them to consider me! That helps a huge amount to let me know where I am wanted.
SUPER MARIO MOMENT CONTINUES…
In completely unrelated news, my new podcast Super Mario Moment has been continuing since my last email. I’ve launched five episodes so far with five incredible guests and there are no signs of slowing down!
So far we have covered Mario Kart World, Super Mario Odyssey, Wario Land 3, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. And on upcoming episodes, we will be discussing Super Mario Land 2, Super Mario World and the Super Mario Bros Super Show!

IN CONCLUSION
This will be a rare month where I send a follow-up email just before launch! But if I haven’t made it clear enough, this book means the world to me and I really, really hope it’s a hit. I will only get to keep telling the story of Tobi, Grace and Okidoki if this book sells well, so every little helps!
It really is Go Time!!
