Murky Depths #6

Murky
Depths seems to be getting better each issue. Issue #6 includes a superb cover
by Jason Beam as well as an in depth interview with him. While all the stories
are superbly illustrated, issue #6 includes four full length comics which are
superb mixture of compelling storytelling and amazing illustration. The Factory
is incredibly evocative, while Hellbound is just plain transgressive. There is
even a couple of Christmas stories, there is the darkly named The Butcher and
the Fly keeper and the sci fi tale “All
I want for Christmas”.
What
stands out in each issue of Murky Depth is the way in which fiction and art intertwine;
every story is superbly illustrated in such a way that the art becomes integral
to the tale. This mixture of superb fiction and visual extravagance makes each
issue of Murky Depths an exciting experience.
