GORILLAZ ALMANAC

Stop the presses! Twenty years in the making, the Gorillaz ALMANAC is the very first annual by Gorillaz, published in partnership with the renowned Z2 Comics. Inspired by the great British tradition of the hardback annual, the Gorillaz Almanac is a full colour, one-of-a-kind, fun-packed, 120+ page, sideways homage to two glorious decades of Gorillaz. Jammed with exclusive new artwork, including a mini-comic strip starring 2D and Murdoc Niccals; puzzles, games and more; plus a raft of special guest appearances from Gorillaz collaborators past and present, the Gorillaz Almanac is a compendium of delights which finally puts the most real band around on the printed page.

Ed writes fast-paced stories about funny, foolish characters who go on epic adventures. Since 2016, Ed has been the lead script writer for cartoon band Gorillaz, working with artist and co-founder Jamie Hewlett to dream up the virtual band’s madcap exploits, then script them across a diverse range of media. He has worked on animated music videos, sketches, and ad campaigns that have garnered hundreds of millions of views online, scripted in-character music press interviews, radio shows, and animated MTV award speeches, and in 2020 he co-wrote the best-selling Gorillaz Almanac – a screwball compendium of stories, comic strip, and lore. Ed’s career began in the comic book world. He has written lots of scripts for Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hasbro’s Action Man ATOM, and Warner Bros’ Tom & Jerry.

An English comic creator, animator, designer, illustrator, and director, best known as the co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl with Alan Martin and co-creator of the virtual band Gorillaz, alongside Blur front man Damon Albarn.
