The Collected Letters of Courier Z - Volume One - PDF
After humanity expands across the universe... After technology takes us to the stars…
There's still a never-ending pressure to deliver.
Intergalactic postwoman Courier Z lives in her ship, pushes post all day long, slaves away under a system that shows no mercy — and it's never enough. No wonder she's started taking off-the-books jobs from less than savoury private customers. A girl has to eat! And laws keep you poor!
Z’s even reprogrammed her cute computer assistant J.E.S.S. to bring maximum efficiency to her hectic schedule - dropping people's birthday presents from their mum and the special pills for the after-party. But could Courier Z come to regret deactivating those morality locks for complete crime competence?
Sounds like she might.
The Collected Letters of Courier Z is a 52-page collection, available here in digital PDF format, chronicling a series of key incidents in the life of put-upon postwoman Zara Z, the series of bad decisions and bad breaks that make up her life.
The Courier Z stories exist in a farflung sci-fi/crime universe with a strong resemblance to our own, as our beleaguered hero delivers to worlds swamped by capitalist excess, dark underbellies and annoying customers.
Combining the satirical worldview of Judge Dredd with the scuzzy sci-fi comedy of Red Dwarf, the high-concept worldhopping of Doctor Who and the job description of Postman Pat, Courier Z is here to make you laugh, cry and feel better about your own life.
The stories are all written by Nick Bryan (Death of a Necromancer, StoneCop, FairyFare), and drawn by a bulging mailbag of drawing talent: Jim Lavery (Dark Matter, Futurequake), Alex Moore (Death Drop: Drag Assassin), Giulia Lalli (Eight Limbs), Steve Gregson (BPM, Ninja Baseball Spirits) and Gustaffo Vargas (Marvel's Voices: X-Men, Peruvian Cyberpunk series), with character design and cover art by Lender Shell (Elias Ferguson).
Then stamped & franked by the expert warehouse crew of colourist A.H.G. (Broken Bear, Dark Blood), letterer/designer DC Hopkins (Nocterra, Justice League Infinity) and editor Claire Napier (Wild Nature).
