Melbourne Artists Have Created A Comic Book About Monster-Hunting Ticket Inspectors

Hard-working PTV ticket inspectors are finally getting their dues, in a brand new independent comic about a pair of dedicated mates fighting monsters from another dimension. You know, just like in real life.

Created by writer-artist duo Katie Marx and Mel Rowsell, Metcop Wonderland follows depressed ticket inspector Shane Digby and his dedicated partner Alan as they go up against strange, metallic creatures that start appearing around Melbourne. Meanwhile, something strange starts to stir in the darkness of the City Loop. Some call it…the Demontrain.

Check out some panels from the first issue that Marx and Roswell shared on Instagram.
