David Walliams loves to switch up the genres of his books, always spicing them up with a generous dose of humour. He's already tried fantasy and sci-fi, we've also had a war drama and a Walliams-style spy novel – and now he's dived into comics. This time, his hero is… a chimpanzee! True, he's not exactly a bright spark or a genius; you could even say he's a bit of a dimwit. He makes rude noises (best not to ask from which bodily orifices), picks his nose, and instead of eating the yummy part of a banana, he feasts on the peels! But the scientists at NASA's space programme have decided to send him into space. Because if a chimpanzee can orbit the Earth, a human can too. What could possibly go wrong with a not-so-clever ape sitting at the controls of a spaceship? Everything! The perilous mission is about to begin. The first comic from the author of a long line of bestsellers, led by the immortal Gangsta Granny.
