THE HISTORY:
Champion City Comics, founded by TonyDoug Wright in October of 2009, is a webcomics community fueled by a do-it-yourself philosophy. It has been our goal to provide excellent webcomics to a worldwide community while supporting and developing up-and-coming writers and artists. Currently, we have nine titles that cover various genres from science-fiction to crime noir to teen humor. Our dedicated staff of writers and artists hail from the United States, Argentina, Canada, Brazil, and Italy.
Our webcomics are updated every Wednesday, but every day we feature a hilarious comic strip, Comics From The Edge. We thank you for supporting Champion City Comics.

He has asked us to withold his email address, and we have to respect that.

ERIK ROMAN: Erik Roman is an illustrator and cartoonist living in the wilds of Southwest Michigan with his wife, daughter and Betta. Erik discovered comic books on a spinner rack at a grocery store at the ripe young age of 7 and has been drawing superheroes, science fiction and fantasy trying to recreate the wonder and feeling of awe he had when he first opened and read that old issue of Iron Man.

Married in 2002, children came along shortly thereafter and killed all of his expensive hobbies - though he did manage to support his avid paintball habit for a few years by writing for a nationally distributed paintball magazine. When the paintball writing came to an end, he discovered a love of writing as a hobby, specifically supernatural and fantasy fiction. With a few indie-published short stories as well as a queue of shorts and novels in various stages of editing, writing has filled any void he might have in his free time.
BRIAN CEE: Brian Cee writes away his ever-loving days in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

MICHAEL NEWTON: Hey CCC readers, it is time that I let you know a little about myself. My name’s Michael Newton, and I’m an artist and a writer (more artist than writer, I assure you). I’m a sophomore at Ball State University and I’m studying to be an art teacher (but I’d like to be a comic artist). I read more comics than I should, then I try to write reviews on them for Champion City. If you couldn’t tell, I go to school with Mike Knoll, and we sometimes reference each other in our reviews, so I’m sure he’ll say my art sucks every chance he gets.

He is married with two (soon to be three) children and lives in Indianapolis, Indiana. Matthew is the writer for Cuddle-Puff: Destroyer of the Damned. He can be seen below making his "writing face." Or he may be thinking about ice cream.
FRED HULL: Fred Hull is an enigmatic figure with several comic artists in his family tree, so it's in his blood. He is best described as "that guy the hero goes to in the movies to get information or some type of new weapon or something. He is never at a loss for this and that is why he is so valued at Champion City Comics. Contact: fhull@cwnet.com
