True Pulp Murder (13 x 30')
|
True Pulp Murder examines real murder from the point of view of the detective who investigated them with commentary from actual murder mystery authors.
Presented as a Graphic Novel in progress, each episode unfolds as a stylish, compelling story full of dramatic twists and turns, accentuated by re-enactment of the crimes, powerful illustrations, and representational details of forensic and physical evidence. The result is a suspenseful, exciting spin on the form with a decidedly pulp/noir bent.
Refreshingly ironic, darkly mysterious, and thrillingly real, True Pulp Murder goes where no true crime documentary series has gone before. Each episode offers a complete graphic novelisation of a true murder case with the police detective providing the play by play and the crime novelist offering colour commentary on the action.
Featuring tragic victims and sinister, deranged, or sometimes sadly misguided killers, True Pulp Murder pushes the boundaries and blurs the line between fact and fiction, getting inside the heads of the investigating detectives and the murderers they're pursuing. Full of pathos and emotion, the series explores the differences and similarities between real and fictional crimes.
In keeping with the Graphic Novel form, the true crime stories chosen for the series include unusual, odd characters and bizarre plot twists that seem too unreal to have actually taken place, supporting the timeless adage truth is often stranger than fiction.
