Bringing stories to life in comics and on screen.

Award-winning writer, comic consultant and creative producer. 50+ licensed comics. From LEGO to Terry Pratchett.

I'm Gary Chudleigh, a writer, consultant and creative producer who specialises in licensed IP, brand storytelling, and graphic novel adaptation. I've written over fifty LEGO comics, including brands like Spider-Man, the Avengers, Jurassic World, Ninjago, and more. I've adapted Terry Pratchett's Thief of Time for Penguin Random House, and co-founded One Shot Studios, which recently consulted on the first Black Mirror graphic novel adaptation.

I work with publishers, entertainment brands, studios and creative agencies who need an expert storyteller that gets character, tone, and hits deadlines every time.

I also create my own IPs, working with publishers and running successful independent Kickstarter campaigns, and have scripted animation and audio content.
