Platinum Grit

From 1994 to 1998, the Dead Numbat imprint published Platinum Grit, a ten-issue series that stands as a singular, self-contained vision from Australian creator Trudy Cooper (with occasional scripting by Danny Murphy). Known for her sharp, character-driven storytelling, Cooper wrote and drew the entire run, crafting a distinctive blend of sci-fi, dark humor, and psychological depth. The series follows the crew of a salvage ship navigating a gritty, off-kilter future, earning a cult following for its unflinching tone and Cooper's expressive, detailed artwork. Platinum Grit remains a landmark of independent 1990s comics, showcasing a singular creator's uncompromising voice.
