A fast paced, blast through a flooded future London packed with great characters.
Rich Johnston, Bleeding Cool
A super read… Drowntown reaches high and achieves much of it, comedy, adventure, intrigue, entertainment and sumptuous art – I think you’ll be hard-pressed to find anything else quite like it for a while.
Forbidden Planet
Flooded civilisations have long been a staple of post-apocalyptic fiction… Few have executed their dystopian vision with quite as much panache as Robbie Morrison and Jim Murray do here.
Stephen Jewell, SFX
It would be no exaggeration to say that Robbie Morrison and Jim Murray’s Drowntown: Book One is one of the best books that I’ve read all year… This is a book to rival the best stories ever published by 2000 AD, the kind of book that comes along once in a generation, often imitated but rarely matched. Buy it.
PM Buchan, Starburst
It’s not the first time noir has been merged with science fiction, but the execution is absolutely first class. Murray’s illustration is simply stunning… [Morrison’s] script is razor-sharp… Together, Morrison and Murray have created a wonderful piece of cross-genre fiction, an homage to both noir and sci-fi, honing it down to a gritty but beautiful piece of work.
Andy Shaw, Grovel
Jim Murray’s gorgeous art is reminiscent in style of a toned-down Simon Bisley, and his attention to detail really brings this grimy, waterlogged world to life.
Henry Northmore, The List
Morrison quickly fleshes out characters and plot with aplomb while Murray’s gorgeous art ensures this is a thrilling no-holds barred adventure from start to finish...
