Vince Cosmos was a musician from the planet Glam. He was also secretly a detective, fighting Martian infiltrators on Earth with the help of his personal assistant Poppy Munday and Mr. Glister.
Cosmos was born on Glam, but raised on Earth in East Dulwich. He stole a map with the location of the souls of all the Martians on Earth from his ex-manager, Arthur Corn, after discovering that Arthur was a Martian. (AUDIO: Vince Cosmos: Glam Rock Detective)
On May Day, 1972, Vince attended a party hosted by Iris Wildthyme, along with a number of other celebrities. (PROSE: From Wildthyme with Love) Vince began his music career that year. By 1979 Glam Rock had long since declined in popularity, so he retired as both a musician and a Martian-fighting detective, returning to the planet formerly known as Glam. Iris Wildthyme travelled back in time to 1976, stole his map and gave it to MIAOW, so that they could fight the Martians in his place. (PROSE: Hang onto Yourself)
The Tomorrow Twins were one of his warm up acts. (PROSE: Enter Wildthyme)
