In Platinum Grit Chapters #1-5, the fearless Nils and the timid-but-still-surprisingly-together Jeremy take on the Zodiac (they won); Jer's insane Scottish relatives (they sort of win); a 1940s private dick (they draw when poor light stops play); and two sets of alien matchmakers (they...almost).

Quirky British-Style Humor,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Platinum Grit Volume 1 (Paperback)
I came to learn of Platinum Grit through its artist, Trudy Cooper, and her work on a mature but funny weekly webcomic Oglaf. Wanting to support her wonderful efforts I decided to pick up the first volume of Platinum Grit.
Her art has become more polished since the stories published in this volume, but then these stories were penned in 1994, before I graduated from High School. She was definitely well on her way to becoming an accomplished artist and has wonderful comedic timing in her art. Danny's writing is very much in the vein of dry, straight faced, British humor and I loved every minute of it. It also quickly takes a surreal, Douglas Adams, bend when Jer visits the Zodiac and attempts to change their order to save his life. Hitchhiker's Guide and Red Dwarf both came to mind as I was making my way through this and, though I can always read the rest of the series online, I still hope Shadowline publishes subsequent volumes for those times when I want to curl up on the couch and chuckle an afternoon away.

Yes, it is worth it,
This review is from: Platinum Grit Volume 1 (Paperback)
I started following Platinum Grit a while back on the web. I prefer print to web anyway, so this was a natural step for me. I am pleased to say that I feel my money was well spent on a quality product.

This review is from: Platinum Grit Volume 1 (Paperback)
Trudy Cooper is one of the best graphic novelists. I bought the book, even though it's available to read on the web. I think the book is worth twice the price. I hope the publishers bring out the subsequent volumes soon.
The book is like poetry. Every time you read it, you get something new out of it. And you have more questions, which may get answered on the next reading. Highly recommended.
