Peng and Spanners: Dr Biscuits!

Join author-illustrator Steve Webb for a fantastically fun event bringing his brilliant Peng and Spanners series (Faber & Faber) to life! In this latest graphic novel, our duo’s action-packed trip to the Invention Convention with Spanners’ latest and greatest invention has hilarious consequences. Find out about Steve’s creative process, from initial idea to printed book, including writing, illustrating and design, and find out about the tricky bits when it comes to creating comic strips. Almost as silly as his characters, Steve’s events are sure to put smiles on faces, with draw-a-longs, volunteer singers, prizes AND a Bingo finale!

Steve Webb is a freelance graphic designer. Peng and Spanners is his debut graphic novel series, and is already a hit at festivals. His first middle-grade series was the magnificently bonkers Spangles McNasty. For younger readers he has written the fabulously silly picture book, Cows go BOO! and the rhythm and rhyme, syllable-tastic classic, Tanka Tanka Skunk.
