Watching a comic book evolve over the years, seeing the character trials, and developmental changes is exciting for any creator. Seeing that comic jump off the page and onto the small and large screen is icing on the cake. Soon the comic book worlds created by renowned creator and artist Chris Yambar are making the transition from page to animation and live action films.

Yambar is working with Cinemanix Productions to bring his characters from Mr. Beat, El Mucho Grande, and Suicide Blonde to TV and film. The team of skilled artists and technical gurus at Cinemanix are using the power of their Motion Capture Stage, animation, and Visual Effects Production into developing the programs. CEO of Cinemanix, Bryan Scibelli, has already found enthusiasm for the projects. “What we’re dealing with here are characters that have already lived in the print format and who are ready to literally walk out onto the animation stage and into the mainstream…With Chris there are no shortages of memorable characters and licensable concepts. His work has great signature and yet broad appeal.”

Chris Yambar has been quite busy in the comics industry. Since 1987, he has painted over 2,000 pop art images, and created his own comics such as The Mr. Beat Show, The Fire-Breathing Pope, Spells, Misfits, and more. He’s written for several comic books, including Bart Simpson Comics, Elfquest, I Dream of Jeannie, and Mister Magoo, and he won the Cinescape Magazine award for Best Sci-Fi comic writer for Suicide Blonde in 1993. He voiced his excitement about the project saying, “Seeing Bryan’s people at Cinemanix bringing my characters to life is more than exciting for me, as it would be for any comic creator…Knowing that they want my hand in the production mix is an opportunity that most never get. Did I mention that I’m jazzed? I’m jazzed!”
