"Buckle up for a thrilling and brilliantly illustrated new graphic novel sci-fi series!"
August 2026 Debut of the Month
Star Wars meets Indiana Jones in this thrilling graphic novel which is perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Mega Robo Bros or Cherub.
Our hero, Zeke Zero, has the misfortune to be living on the planet Grimlax, ranked bottom by TrustPlanet for safety, jobs, health, weather and restaurants. In his words, Grimlax is a lawless dungball of bandits, thieves and assassins who would vaporize you for a pint of grog and a packet of fried slugs.
Zeke has survived – just – through petty crime and by using his wits (and avoiding dark, dead end streets). His life becomes even harder though when he inadvertently steals an ancient treasure map. Lots of people are eager to find the treasure – the all-seeing, all-powerful Eye of the Cosmos – and some of them are really very bad indeed.
Adopted into a team of eccentric Star Breakers has Zeke finally found something resembling a family, and together can they survive attack by Triloborgs, deadly rain, and the utterly ruthless ‘Princess’ Grizelda Grim?
The action is non-stop and brilliantly conveyed through witty text and superb cartoon-strip illustrations and there’s still time for character development, humour and proper human emotions. Buckle up, young graphic novel fans, you’re in for the read of your lives!
The hilarious, action-packed new graphic novel series about a crew of treasure-hungry Star Breakers and their accidental quest to save the universe. Perfect for fans of Amulet, Frostheart and Percy Jackson aged 9-13.
