Chris Gooch is a graphic novelist in Melbourne, Australia. He was selected for a 2016 TRANSIT artist residency at the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo (CAKE) and, after publishing many short comics, made his graphic novel debut with Bottled, which received Australia's Silver Ledger Award. His second book, Deep Breaths, was a compilation of short comics, including "Mooreland Mates," which won the Lord Mayor's Creative Writing Prize. At nearly 600 pages, Under-Earth (Top Shelf Productions, November 10, 2020) is his most ambitious graphic novel to date, set in a massive underground prison-city where two pairs of inmates struggle to find connection and build meaningful lives in a broken system.
