Ed Caruana: British scriptwriter, long a narrative voice for Gorillaz, whose debut graphic novel series Star Breakers brings loud, funny space adventure to readers aged 9 to 12.

Ed Caruana is a British writer whose first original graphic novel series, Star Breakers, launches with Zeke Zero Vs The Galaxy, illustrated by Chris Hazeldine. It is a hilarious, action-packed space adventure in which a thirteen-year-old is press-ganged into a ramshackle crew of treasure-hunters and stumbles into a race to save the galaxy, pitched at readers aged 9 to 12 who like their sci-fi loud and their crew dynamics warm-hearted. Caruana came up through scriptwriting for animation and comics and has long written narrative for the band Gorillaz, a background that shows in the fast jokes and confident world-building of Star Breakers. His stories favour swagger, heart and the misfit found-family that holds a chaotic adventure together.
