Discover a Brand New Series of Captivating Tales That’ll Terrify and Delight in March 2020
[/vc_column_text][us_separator][vc_column_text]BOOM! Studios announced today JIM HENSON’S THE STORYTELLER: GHOSTS, a brand new four-issue comic book series based on the Emmy Award-winning classic television show, Jim Henson’s The Storyteller, presenting several extraordinary folk tales of life after death. The first story from cartoonist Márk László and letterer Jim Campbell (Coda) about the perils of getting entangled in a ghost’s affairs, available in March 2020.
In Scandinavian folklore, there exists a vengeful ghost known as the Myling. A man traveling at night comes across a haunting cry from within the forest. He enters it to find a spirit who demands to be carried to its proper burial site. The man agrees, but as he travels forth, the spirit’s grip tightens… it grows in size…and the man moves slower and slower. Can he unburden himself of this terrifying weight before it brings him down for good?
JIM HENSON’S THE STORYTELLER: GHOSTS #1 features main cover art by artist Michael Walsh (Black Hammer/Justice League) and variant cover art by László.[/vc_column_text][us_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_image image=”27377″ style=”shadow-1″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][us_image image=”27378″ style=”shadow-1″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][us_separator][vc_column_text]“Ghosts can shock and terrify us, but they also can reveal something profound about loss, grief, and the value of life.” said Matthew Levine, Editor, BOOM!
