Explore Murky Depths

Mag readers will probably be familiar with the name Murky Depths - it's a fanzine dedicated to dark SF and fantasy short stories and comic strips that we've often raved about in our Fanzine Of The Month box. Its consistently high standard has made it one of the best genre fanzines out there right now, and now it's giving us one more thing to shout about with the announcement that it'll begin its serialization of Dead Girls – Richard Calder’s graphic novel adaptation of his acclaimed, cult cyberpunk novel of the same name – with issue #9, available early August 2009. Leonardo M Giron – the Manila-based artist fast making a name for himself who has appeared in previous issues of Murky Depths – will be illustrating.

Calder wrote Dead Girls while living in Thailand – principally Bangkok, and later, Nongkhai, a town on the Mekong River bordering Laos. The novel is largely set in Bangkok, and is heavily influenced by manga, anime, and Asian cinema.
