Douglas Holgate is the illustrator of the #1 New York Times bestselling series, The Last Kids on Earth from Penguin Kids (now also an Emmy winning Netflix animated series), and the co-creator and illustrator of the graphic novel Clem Hetherington and The Ironwood Race for Scholastic Graphix. He has worked for the last 20 years making books and comics for publishers around the world from his garage in regional Victoria, Australia.
