Murky Depths is deep but in my opinion not murky. In fact it is the 21st century graphic literature’s coruscating must read / own fantasy. The story lines and art are leading edge with art by such talent as Leonardo M Giron, Martin Deep, Nancy Farmer and Paul Drummond; writers such as Juliet E McKenna, Gareth D Jones and Jon Courtenay Grimwood; and both art and writing from the multi-talented Richard Calder.
I love our own Escape Velocity magazine, but Murky Depths is a gem and undoubtedly the best illustrated adult mag of all time. Sample it at
Congrats Terry Martin for running Murky Depths and for taking the bold step of publishing talent in paperback novels such as Sam Stone with her vampire stories. Her Futile Flame is now out adding to the fang-curling success of Killing Kiss. (both available here)
