Skin Deep by Kory Bing
Peppered across the internet are a handful of special comics that make the unique and challenging decision to portray stories using non-human (or mostly non-human) characters and worlds. In my internet travels I’ve affectionately dubbed these gems as “creature comics”.
Skin Deep by Kory Bing is a creature comic of impressive proportion. Not only does Ms. Bing introduce a monstrous cast (both in size and appearance), she also manages to fuse an entirely fantastical world quite seamlessly with our own. American folklore, ancient mythology, theology and a splash of Britpop all collide in the world of Skin Deep, where the monsters and myths that pervade human history are not only real, they also listen to The Beatles and wear graphic tees.
Skin Deep
skindeepcomic.comI feel I should post a little about this gem of a webcomic i’ve been reading for a while now.
My feelings: It’s that kind of a webcomic where… when I see a new update, I actually drop everything i’m doing and go and read it. It’s in my RSS Feed… Alongside Darwin Carmichael is going to Hell, Lackadaisy Cats, Evil Diva and Hanna is not a boys name. ((Plus Godseeker, Miamaska and Monster Pulse))
I dunno, maybe it’s the beautiful art work, or the fact that you can see the creators of this comic truly care about it that makes it so wonderful.
Either way. RECCOMENDED!
