Galaxy Team 1
Bills is a young PNG boy desperate for an adventure in the stars. He gets his wish when a shape-shifting recruiter teams him up with a diverse group of alien teenagers to stop an evil warlord from destroying the galaxy with a massive hydrogen bomb. They all learn valuable lessons of teamwork, inclusion and bravery when they work together to disarm the bomb, save the galaxy and be home in time for dinner.

My Why:
Prior to the pandemic, I was a community youth worker, coach and facilitator, and mentored at-risk young people to improve their lives with sporting, cultural and recreational activities. As a neuro-divergent creator, I understand the mental health challenges young people face in their teens. I now use graphic novels to promote themes of friendship, resilience and self-confidence to children of all ages.
