Books Astrochimp: New for 2024, a funny comic book space adventure for children from the bestselling author of Gangsta Granny  by David Walliams (Author), Adam Stower (Illustrator)

"Astrochimp" is a lively, humorous children's graphic novel authored by David Walliams and illustrated by Adam Stower, published in May 2024. The story follows Chump, a chimpanzee who unwittingly becomes an astronaut after being taken from the zoo by NASA scientists, with plans to orbit the Earth. After a launch that goes awry due to a rocket malfunction, Chump is frozen for 50 years and later wakes up following a collision with another spacecraft, thrust into an outlandish space adventure. Chump encounters a cast of quirky characters, including a space pirate dog, a laser-shooting cat, and a bunch of fruit flies, all caught up in madcap escapades.

The book is packed with colorful illustrations and fast-paced humor, making it appealing for children who love action, comedy, and space adventures. Walliams and Stower’s collaboration brings to life a zany universe filled with mad machines, silly characters, and plenty of bananas—highlighting themes of friendship, bravery, and humor. The storyline is designed to entertain children aged 6 and above, especially those interested in space themes or comic book adventures.​
