Christian Slade spent his childhood dreaming of creating a unique book series that was told silently through detailed ink drawings. Korgi is the realization of that dream. He has also worked on numerous projects including children's books, animated films, and theme park designs. For over a decade, he has been the monthly illustrator for the ongoing Ricky and Pals story, starring Ranger Rick as a young racoon, in National Wildlife Federation's Ranger Rick Jr. magazine. Christian currently lives in Florida with his wife, Ann, and their twins, Kate and Nate.
“An utterly charming fantasy world... Korgi is as intricately illustrated, rich, and fully imagined as an animated film.” — Publishers Weekly “If there was ever a true ‘all-ages’ book, this is it. Korgi hits every note perfectly, and can hook readers all across the spectrum with its tantalizing suspense and action.... The art is spectacular.” — School Library Journal’s Good Comics for Kids “Guaranteed to be loved by children. Its Disney-esque beauty and Bone-like comic timing and fantasy adventure are thoroughly enjoyable, and Slade’s black-and-white draftsmanship is impeccable.” — The A.V. Club “The art, storytelling, pacing, and world Slade has created are fantastic, and you don’t have to be a kid to appreciate it.” — About.com “Once you pick up Korgi, if you have a heart, you will not be able to put it down or stop going ‘That’s so cute!!!’” — Heidi MacDonald, The Comics Beat
