Murdle Fanzine

The Investigative Institute presents…

in collaboration with The Detective Club…

“The Usual Suspects” - A Murdle Fanzine!

The Usual Suspects by murdlezine

The Usual Suspects by murdlezine

(We highly recommend reading this as a two-page spread!)

On this day of Ides of March, 2026, followers of Logic and Esotericism joined together for a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration to publish a collection of evidence of The Usual Suspects of crime. Pieces include art spreads, long-form writings, music arrangements—everything a deductive could want! Join Logico and Irratino as they flip through the colorful creations of the Murdle community!

Over the past two months, the Murdlers of Tumblr and Reddit brainstormed, sketched, and finalized beautiful pieces commemorating their favorite characters in their favorite series. The main goal of this zine was to honor an underrated series and its passionate, talented fans and we cannot wait to show you the submissions that have kept us busy since January!

To readers: please take the time to look through every single page (yes, including the author, artist, and moderator notes) to truly appreciate our creators and make the most of the zine experience! You will be greatly rewarded for taking the time to look through everything, I promise. 

To Fanzine participants: You are now welcome to publish your works separately (please tag us in your posts!). If you submitted fanfiction, please consider adding your work to our collection on Archive of Our Own! And please, if you have any feedback for how the process went or how the final product turned out, shoot us a message!

Thank you for making this project truly special—whether you were chatting on our server, lurking on Tumblr, or watching the progress from afar, you made this all possible. We hope to see you again soon…

*dusts off blog like an old relic*

Hiya Murdlers! We still got a long way to go before next January, but I’d like to give you all the clearest picture of what the second Murdle fanzine will be. But to make this event better, we require YOUR help.

Presenting: the feedback/future planning form!

Murdle Zine - Feedback and Future Planning

We’re already halfway through the year (woah) and it’s been three months since the release of the first ever Murdle zine (WOAH), but the bes

It’s completely optional, but it’s a 5 minute read including some hot topics such as:

Should we keep it as “The Usual Suspects” or switch it up?

What do we think about including bordergrams in the next issue? (this one’s for you, Lily ;))

Yay or nay: more mods?

…and much more!

This form will be open for a while, but it would be greatly appreciated if you can fill it out whenever you can! As always, your voice matters, and we’d love to hear what you think we can do to make this Murdle celebration even better :D

You can expect an update on what is to come for the zine once all the data has been collected. See you soon, Murdlers!
