Chuck Gonzales

My name is Chuck Gonzales,

I'm a writer and illustrator of graphic novels for young readers. I live in both Providence Rhode Island, and Brooklyn New York.

I have illustrated many books, book series, and book covers for clients such as; Reycraft Books, Great Minds/Geodes Educational Publishing, Chronicle, Harper Collins, Penguin, Scholastic, and Benchmark Publishing.

I wrote and illustrated a series of semi-autobiographical graphic novels for Reycraft Books about Carlos Gomez and his family. Carlos is a young Latinx LGBTQ boy living in South Dakota. He has no athletic ability, a pronounced lisp, and a deep attraction to his glam older sisters' closet. His older brother gives him sage advice while emptying his piggy bank. The books are funny, relevant, surrealistic, heartfelt, and again, really funny!

Titles for the Carlos Gomez series:

“Carlos Gomez Freestyles…Heavy On The Style!” out in 2022

"Carlos Gomez: Attack of the Trashcan Zombies" is out now.

The third book in the series is due out in 2025.

Other graphic novels that I have written and illustrated:

“A’Camping We Will Gomez!” Benchmark Publishing

“Oscar the Mighty” Scholastic Read 180

“The Aguados On Ice!” Benchmark Publishing

“Elena Eco-Hero” Benchmark Publishing
