It’s been nearly 30 years since Oglaf ‘s Trudy Cooper & Doug Bayne teamed up with Danny Murphy to create the indie comic book-turned-webcomic Platinum Grit. The series was written and illustrated by Cooper, co-written by Murphy, with Bayne inking and contributing to the scripts through Episode 11.
The series began with an (officially non-canon) entry entitled “Friendly Rivalry” in the 1993 issue of Australia’s Issue One Magazine , followed by 10 issues self-published under the Dead Numbat imprint from 1994-1998.
Episodes 11-20 were released sporadically online from 2000-2009, with updates occasionally reaching nearly George R.R. Martin levels of time between installments (ok, maybe not QUITE), before being put on a permanent hiatus after #20. Additionally—and maddeningly to the archivists among us—though #1-16 eventually received physical reprints in 3 print-on-demand volumes (with #12-16 getting individual releases as well), a fourth and final book collection never materialized, leaving issues #17-20 unavailable i
