Tom Humberstone is a comic artist and illustrator based in London. His first comic Art School Scum became a critically acclaimed cult hit and his latest book How to Date a Girl in 10 Days won the 2008 Eagle Award for Favourite black and white British comic.
In early 2008, Humberstone travelled around America following the US Presidential primaries with journalist Dan Hancox. They produced a collaborative blog while on the road and the results were published last year in the book My Fellow Americans. The book has been featured in The Guardian, The Telegraph, The Times, Dazed&Confused, and on BBC Five Live.
