Steve Webb: British author-illustrator of the Peng and Spanners early-graphic-novel series — bright, joke-paced friendship comics for emerging comic readers ages 5–8.

Steve Webb is a British author-illustrator best known for the Peng and Spanners early-graphic-novel series, short, joke-paced friendship comics about a penguin and his eccentric inventor friend Spanners, and for a range of other picture books and early chapter books. Webb's style is bright, character-driven and gag-paced, in the early-graphic-novel register that has become a reliable reluctant-reader pipeline for the youngest comic readers (ages 5–8). A core contemporary UK early-graphic-novel author for emerging readers.
