Handford Martin

Martin Handford (born 1956) is the British illustrator and creator of the world-famous “Where’s Wally?” series (known as Where’s Waldo? in the USA). He is NOT just an author — he is a high-precision crowd-scene illustrator whose style is instantly recognisable worldwide. His books sell tens of millions of copies and are translated into 40+ languages. In short, he’s a global brand creator, not a casual children’s book writer.
