Mark Bradley: British cartoonist behind the Bumble and Snug early-graphic-novel series — bright, gently emotional friendship comics about working through big feelings, for ages 5–8.

Mark Bradley is a British cartoonist best known as the creator of the Bumble and Snug early-graphic-novel series, short, bright, gently emotional comics about two best friend monsters (a worrying Snug, a determined Bumble) working through small everyday emotional storms together. The series is pitched at the earliest end of graphic-novel reading (ages 5–8), with very accessible panels, calm narration and a strong emotional-literacy core in the Pizza and Taco / Narwhal and Jelly tradition. Bradley also illustrates for The Phoenix Comic and other UK children's comics. A core early-graphic-novel author for emerging readers, particularly for sensitive children processing big feelings.
