In the years 2011-2013, Dan Allon and screenwriter Noam Naumovsky established a comics studio, specializing in the French market. They chose the name Chrome Handle Comics, as a homage to their beloved writer George Perec. They published several stories, which they have written together, in websites and magazines, and printed two graphic novels, written by Naumovsky, and drawn by Allon. The books brought them to Angoulême International Comics Festival, France’s most distinguished comics festival, among other events.
