Latest major project is the BANANA SUNDAY trade compilation, which you can purchase from here... Powell's Books or here Amazon or at any good comic store.
Here's what Publisher's Weekly had to say about the graphic novel..."This charming paperback collects four issues of Nibot and Coover's delightful comic book series, Banana Sunday. The story introduces Kirby Steinberg, a high school girl with an unusual problem: she lives with the three divine monkeys. Literally. They are the Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil trio, and Kirby is charged with caring for them. Luckily, she makes fast friends with another outsider, a girl reporter named Nickels, and a photographer named Martin. Together, they look after the monkeys, try to keep out of harm's way and even have some fun, too. The story is brisk entertainment, not so dissimilar from Archie comics but with a decidedly hip, contemporary edge. High school, monkeys and romance make an excellent combination."
Currently, I'm working to a be a novelist, doing the whole "shopping for an agent while revising" dance. My finished books are...
C-C-CHIGGER: A novel about a man who was imprisoned by his mother during his youth, and the odd and unweildy immortality that results.
RED ZIPPER SIDEKICK:: A "coming of age" story for humanity as a whole, concerning the lives of Nate and Kevin, with Nate out to prove that he has the fastest gunhand in all creation, surpassing even that of God's.
BANANA SUNDAY NOVELS: These books will be a series for middle readers, concerning two young girls becoming aware of The Boggles, a world just at the corner of their eyes. And there's talking monkeys. While very different in plot, the Banana Sunday novels use some of the same characters as my Banana Sunday comic, for which the compilation was recently released.

Here's a link to one of my short stories, just out in the newest issue of super sweet Spork literary journal. SPORK STORY
Here's Colleen Coover's illustration for my story. Brilliant, as always.
Currently, I am also working on a novel entitled "When I Win the Lottery I Will Use the Money to Ruin You." My novels often are a bit strange, but this one is turning out particularly bizarre. It is set in the modern day, but stars Oscar Wilde, and on the surface level concerns Oscar and his friends using a series of weekly plays to try to both get over the trauma of a friend's murder, but also to discover who the murderer may have been. Past that, on a deeper level, it is a look on whether today's permissive attitudes towards homosexuality (and sexuality in general) may actually lessen the draw of the actual physical act, as that which is the most forbidden is often that which is therefore the most desired.
For comics, Colleen and I are working on an original graphic novel entitled, "FRECKLED FACE, BONY KNEES, and other things known about Annah." In it, a series of narrators give their opinions about Annah, a woman in her early twenties. Chief among their discussions is Annah's story of having her Penfield Homunculus (a neural section that manages the sense of touch) removed at the age of nine, and subsequently turned into an actual living breathing sister, one that was in control of all feelings and emotions. Perhaps not coincidentally, Annah's parents divorced when she was nine, forever mentally scarring the young Annah.
Here's a look at a page in progress, sans lettering.
I've also had lots of other short stories published, and lots o' comics. If I died today I would be survived by Colleen Coover, my brother Mike, my parents (Chuck and JoAnn) and the myriad ghosts of those who have fallen at my merciless hands.
