About Matt Garvey

Hello and welcome — I’m Matt Garvey, a UK-based comic book writer, independent publisher, and passionate storyteller with over ten years of experience in the comics industry.

Since launching my self-publishing journey in March 2015, I’ve released over 30 individual issues and several trade paperbacks, covering a wide range of genres including action, sci-fi, horror, comedy, and drama. My work has been featured at conventions, in comic shops, and in the hands of readers who appreciate fresh, original voices in comics.

While accolades aren’t the driving force behind what I do, I’m proud to have received recognition along the way — including Best Original One-Shot at the Yancy Street Comic Awards and Best Indie Comic (for Red Rocket Comet) as voted by Pipedream Comics readers.

Whether it's a heartfelt story or a laugh-out-loud space comedy, I believe great comics start with bold ideas and relentless creativity. I’m also deeply committed to supporting emerging creators and helping demystify the self-publishing process. I’ve been where many aspiring comic makers are now — unsure, excited, and ready to dive in — and I know firsthand that with the right push, anyone can bring their stories to life.

So, whether you’re here to explore my comics or looking for inspiration to start your own, you’re in the right place. And if you spot me at a convention, don’t hesitate to say hello — I’m always happy to talk shop, answer questions, or just share a mutual love for the medium.

Let’s tell great stories. Let’s make comics.

– Matt
