Star Breakers: Zeke Zero Vs The Galaxy Announced - Meet the Galaxy's Most Reluctant Hero
Reading time: 1 minute
Meet the galaxy's most unlucky kid. Star Breakers: Zeke Zero Vs The Galaxy is a brand new kids' graphic novel from David Fickling Books. It arrives in July 2026.
In a story where Guardians of the Galaxy meets Indiana Jones, Zeke Zero has been living his worst life ever since his dad traded him for a spare battery when he was a baby…
Still, 13-year-old Zeke gets by. Or he did. That is until he 'borrowed' the wrong priceless star map and was forced to join a shoddy crew of Star Breakers. Brave (foolish) souls who dare to search dying worlds for (sometimes) incredible treasures.
Their first job? Finding an ancient god's eyeball! Unfortunately, the evil Grizelda 'Princess' Grim has her eye on it too. And Princess doesn't share.
Locked in a race across the galaxy, Zeke and his crew will have to work together. That means dodging monsters, surviving mayhem, and uncovering a secret that puts the whole universe at risk…
The book is created by Ed Caruana, the scriptwriter and narrative consultant for the band Gorillaz, and Chris Hazeldine, an illustrator at The Phoenix Comic. Star Breakers: Zeke Zero Vs The Galaxy is the hilarious, action-packed new graphic novel series about a crew of treasure-hungry ships and their accidental quest to save the universe.
