Chris Giarrusso: American cartoonist behind the googly-eyed, sound-effect-splattered art of the Officer Clawsome graphic novels, and creator of the all-ages G-Man and Marvel's Mini Marvels.

Chris Giarrusso is an American cartoonist who illustrates Brian Smith's Officer Clawsome graphic novels, the bubble-blowing undersea superhero romps Lobster Cop and Crime Across Time. His pages are all googly-eyed sea creatures, cartoon slapstick and comic-book sound effects on every spread, pitched squarely at newly independent and reluctant readers who want laughs with their action. Away from the ocean floor he is best known as the creator of the all-ages series G-Man and of Marvel's long-running Mini Marvels comic strips, a body of bright, kid-friendly cartooning that feeds directly into the fast, funny visual comedy he brings to Officer Clawsome for ages 8 and up.
