I’ve added ***The Chairs’ Hiatus – Companion Book*** to my recently released [revised edition](https://www.matthewbogart.net/2025/11/03/the-chairs-hiatus-3/) of my first graphic novel. 

For those who haven’t read it, ***The Chairs’ Hiatus*** follows Mary and Nel, a rock duo who spent every day together on tour—until Mary mysteriously appears in a new city, having given up her music, fame, and friends. She wants nothing more than to work her lousy job and be left alone, but the two people who show up on her doorstep are determined to make sure that won’t happen.

The revised edition includes a handful of updated panels, some new pages, and small tweaks throughout — the kind of changes that come from looking at old work with a decade of hindsight.

### The Companion Book

The ***companion book*** is 28 pages of extra comics and illustrations of The Chairs from back in the day, by yours truly and several other talented artists and writers. There's stories about how the characters met, glimpses into characters lives you barely saw, and more. [Originally sent as a print edition](https://www.matthewbogart.net/2014/08/09/the-chairs-hiatus-companion-book/) to Kickstarter backers it's nice for it to have a more long term home.
