The first part of an awesome new graphic novel by two of the UK's very brightest talents
Jim Murray's brilliant and distinctive artwork ranges from Judge
Dredd and Batman comics to character designs for Virgin Studios,
set designs for live shows of the rock band The Prodigy and fantasy
playing cards for Wizards of the Coast. He is currently character
designer for Valve Studios in Seattle, USA.
Scots writer Robbie Morrison is best known for the Eagle
award-winning Nikolai Dante graphic novels, serialised in 2000AD
from 1997-2012. A regular writer of Judge Dredd, he has also
scripted Batman and Spider-Man. Other creations include Shakara,
The Bendatti Vendetta and Blackheart. He is also the writer of the
acclaimed World War I graphic novel White Death, with Walking Dead
artist Charlie Adlard.
Flooded civilisations have long been a staple of post-apocalyptic
fiction… Few have executed their dystopian vision with quite as
much panache as Robbie Morrison and Jim Murray do here.
*SFX*
Jim Murray’s gorgeous art is reminiscent in style of a toned-down
Simon Bisley, and his attention to detail really brings this grimy,
waterlogged world to life.
*The List*
It’s not the first time noir has been merged with science fiction,
but the execution is absolutely first class. Murray’s illustration
is simply stunning… [Morrison’s] script is razor-sharp… Together,
Morrison and Murray have created a wonderful piece of cross-genre
fiction, an homage to both noir and sci-fi, honing it down to a
gritty but beautiful piece of work.
*Grovel*
Morrison quickly fleshes out characters and plot with aplomb while
Murray’s gorgeous art ensures this is a thrilling no-holds barred
adventure from start to finish...
*Down the Tubes*
A super read… Drowntown reaches high and achieves much of it,
comedy, adventure, intrigue, entertainment and sumptuous art – I
think you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything else quite like it
for a while.
*Forbidden Planet*
