Platinum Grit

Jeremy and Nils, the main characters of Platinum Grit, first appeared in a story called "Friendly Rivalry" in volume 1, Number 7 of Australia's Issue One Magazine in Winter 1993. The Platinum Grit comicbook was published from early 1994 through issue 10 (1998) by Dead Numbat Productions. These, and subsequent issues, are available online at www.platinumgrit.com as free shockwave webcomics. Platinum Grit is a work in progress and new issues are produced on a regular basis.

The creators of Platinum Grit were recipients of the 2005 Ledger Awards for Writer of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Webcomic of the Year. In 2006 Cooper won the Ledger for Writer of the Year. Platinum Grit has attracted a loyal readership and critical acclaim from within the Australian comic industry. Its readership has grown and expanded internationally since the comic became available online.
