Garen’s love of drawing and writing goes back to when he was very young, and had to spend a lot of time in hospital – so his mum supplied him with plenty of comics to read, and pencils and blank paper to draw with – and he’s been making comics ever since! He’s been the editor of a local entertainments guide (5D) and a comic strip anthology (Cosmorama). He’s adapted Shakespeare’s The Tempest into a comic and is the creator of The Rainbow Orchid, an adventure-mystery set in the 1920s. He’s an expert on the Second Anglo-Afghan War of 1878-1880, he’s half Scottish, one-sixteenth Romany Gypsy and plays bass guitar and does karate (though not at the same time!).
