Ghost Comics
After a long delay, due to a drastic increase in ambition resulting in a successful quest for a Xeric grant, Ed Choy Moorman’s anthology and nonprofit benefit project Ghost Comics now exists! I was one of several non-Minnesota artists that Ed kindly invited to contribute to this, and I’m really happy with the story I did for it (and happy that he didn’t mind me putting it out as a separate minicomic in the meantime).

As with all small-press anthologies, I think everyone will call it “uneven” and be blown away by some stories and hate others, but no one will agree on which ones were good. I think the very diverse assortment works better here than it does for most theme books; I’m not sure why that is. I know there’s a lot of it that I’ll want to revisit. The only thing I’m sure of is that John Hankiewicz and Warren Craghead make me feel kind of inspired and kind of overwhelmed, and Kevin Cannon’s strip made me laugh out loud embarrassingly on a bus.

Here’s a nice review of the book, though I was puzzled by the implication that I have fans.
