"Jonathan King is a true storyteller, who has created a page turner with, at its heart, a child’s innate sense of what is right." Julia Marshall, Publisher
Jonathan King’s comics have featured online and in anthologies. King is a prominent filmmaker whose debut feature Black Sheep remains one of New Zealand’s biggest-selling feature films. Its international awards include the Audience Award at the Gérardmer Fantastic Film Festival, the Silver Raven at the Brussels Fantastic Film Festival and the Sir Julius Vogel Award for Best Dramatic Presentation. King co-wrote, produced and directed a film adaptation of New Zealand children’s classic Under the Mountain by Maurice Gee, starring Sam Neill, which was released worldwide. The Inkberg Enigma is his first children’s book.
"In the best tradition of classic comics, the baddies get
their comeuppance in this tale of an endearing couple of oddball
kids."

combine for a fast-paced, rollicking graphic mystery."

contemporary read that is full of adventure and heart… I would

reluctant teens, and any adults that enjoy a graphic novel."
