Måns Gahrton

Född 1961 i Lund, uppvuxen i Stockholm och bor i Nacka utanför Stockholm. Måns Gahrton är mycket produktiv som författare. Han tecknade sin första serie som femåring och skrev sin första bok när han var sex. Han fortsatte skriva berättelser under hela sin uppväxt, men det var första när han träffade illustratören Johan Unenge (vid den tiden reklamtecknare), som han vågade gå till ett förlag.

"Vi träffades på en fest för tjugo år sedan. Jag ville göra serier, men kunde inte rita, Johan kunde rita, men inte skriva. ’Jag hittar på och du ritar’, föreslog jag fram på småtimmarna, och dan därpå träffades vi och satte igång med vår första figur, som vi döpte till Agent Annorlunda."
