Chris Hazeldine: British comics illustrator, a regular in The Phoenix, who draws the loud, funny space adventure Star Breakers for readers aged 9 to 12.

Chris Hazeldine is a British illustrator who draws Star Breakers: Zeke Zero Vs The Galaxy, the loud, funny sci-fi graphic novel written by Ed Caruana about a scrappy crew of treasure-hunting Star Breakers who stumble into saving the universe. His art carries the swagger the story needs, all monsters, mayhem and warm crew dynamics with a Guardians-of-the-Galaxy energy aimed at readers aged 9 to 12 and fans of Amulet. Hazeldine has built his craft in the small-press and weekly-comics world, contributing adventures to The Phoenix and working on creator-owned projects, experience that shows in the fast, expressive panel-work of his first middle-grade series.
