Introducing Poppy Munday was a short prelude to Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective that Paul Magrs wrote and released on his blog on 1 February 2013.
Plot[[edit] | [edit source]]
Poppy Munday says farewell to her parents in South Shields, as she is heading down to London to share a flat. On the journey, she threw up just once, inadvertently covering some of her belongings. The coach she is in stops at a transport services, and she sobs in the toilet.
As she leaves the services, she stops by the shop where she buys a bag of sweets and, without hesitation, a copy of The Vincent Cosmos Holiday Special. Back on the coach, Poppy is engrossed in the magazine, and she daydreams about Vince Cosmos.
