I was hoping to do a big impressive reveal of the front cover to Invisible Fiends: Mr Mumbles, but it seems Amazon have beat me to it by putting the cover up on the product page for the book.
Still, they’ve probably saved me a fortune on fanfares and bunting.
Without any further ado or fuss, then, here’s what you can expect to see in bookshops from January 7th 2010.
The dude on the front, as I’m sure you’ve guessed, is Mr Mumbles himself. Each installment in the series will have a different villain peeking out through the tear, with the baddies themselves drawn by the fantastic Jonny Duddle.
I couldn’t be happier with the cover – Mr Mumbles looks exactly like I pictured him – and I can’t wait until I have the finished book in my hands.
I’d love to hear what you think, so leave a comment and let me know.

I know, isn’t it mental?
But hark at you – I’m not the one who’s had sketches broadcast on telly.

Yeah, but BOOKS. Proper actual books.
I think actual books beats a few minutes of telly stuff.
We’ll have to catch up sometime Baz, see what’s been going down.

‘grats. He’s frickin scary, and after cxounteless teenage evenings and comic swaps (admittedIy always one way) I know how you always appreciated a fine ink artist. It reminds me of an imaginary character some kids and I in my village invented one summer to explain the weird crap we got up to – called the Mud Man. Except Victorian, grumpy, and very, very sociopathic.
Have I just outed myself?
