In the new non-fiction graphic novel Pinball, @jon_chad manages to cover history, engineering, game design, and even a bit of business. Throughout it all, he delivers tons pinball art that could NOT have been easy to render but that he seems to have had a blast drawing anyway.

I got a nice write up from the French pinball publication, Pinball Mag! Thank you Pinball Mag for your thoughtful and kind words! The English version of the write up is here: pinballmag.fr/en/pinball-a-g…

Pinball - A Graphic History of the Silver Ball | The book

This comic book traces the history of pinball, from its origins to the 2000s. A successful bet for Jon Chad, its author.

Picked up this pretty sweet book on the history of pinball by @jon_chad. The story is told in the same vein of a comic book. I’ve always been interested in pinball but never really understood how to play. Learned a lot in the first chapter alone! #pinball
