A very short but sweet graphic novel. The artwork is beautiful, but the storyline was a bit confused at times.

This had a nice, soft, and (literally) haunting quality to the story. Very human, very poetic. Excellent use of comics as a language rather than just illustrating a short story. I quite enjoyed this, though it was rather short. It's really a one-shot comic at 24 pages, so don't think this is a graphic novel.

Apparently, The New Ghost is part of a series or contest of some kind put on by the publisher, Norbrow, of all 17x23 comics made for the Toronto Comics Arts Festival? Or something like that. It's Robert Hunter's first published "solo comic" (ha, on that terminology - I guess by that they mean something even shorter has been included in an anthology before).

Beautiful art, but the story is not quite up to its level.
