David Walliams New Book Astrochimp Publishing 23rd May 2024

A brand new, full colour graphic novel from David Walliams, illustrated by Adam Stower: ASTROCHIMP, publishing 23rd May 2024. NASA’s scientists thought Chump the silly chimpanzee would be the PERFECT chimp to send into space. Little did Chump know that he had been selected for a deadly-dangerous mission. With Chump at the controls of a spacecraft, what could possibly go wrong? As it turned out, EVERYTHING. Blast off with Chump, and encounter a pirate space-dog, a laser-blasting cat, some dastardly fruit flies, and the most ludicrous threat the world has ever faced in this wildly funny space opera fully illustrated in fantastic colour.
