ONE LAST REMINDER that it’s not too late, ARTISTS/CREATORS, to join us this Saturday for our 24-Hour Comics Day, Captain Sun project. We’d love to have you involved! Get all the info, read the story so far, and share your page idea here: itscaptainsun.com/24hour

CALLING ALL ARTISTS/CREATORS (of any age)! Here’s a new ART CHALLENGE you might enjoy: 24-Hour Comics Day is coming up on October 3rd, and I’d love to have you contribute a B&W page to this collaborative project. THE REALLY FUN PART is you choose to take the story where you want it to go. Interested? Please reply ASAP to help us write this story! https://itscaptainsun.com/24hour/

A NEW COLORING PAGE is now available on the website! You’ll find a variety of free coloring pages available for download at itscaptainsun.com/fun-stuff/ (And I’d love to share your colored masterpiece when completed!)

Captain Sun was designed to be the superhero ‘everyman’, a classic character who feels like he came from the Golden or Silver age of comics. But every classic character needs an update once in a while, right? So I decided to give him a little more of that body armor feel, and some extra details here and there. CALLING ALL ARTISTS (of any age)! Let’s see what kind of updates you would make to the Captain’s costume. Send them to me at itscaptainsun@gmail.com.

While Captain Sun can’t cure coronavirus, he can protect Capital City from a new villain… Viral. I hope this ‘PSA-style’ comic page is both fun and useful as you talk with your kids about the current crisis, and the hope that God remains our hero through it all. More at captainsun.com/covid19
