Cartoonist Joey Weiser Wrangles a Ghost Hog in This Exclusive Preview

Miss Mermin? Yeah, us too, but Joey Weiser has new things in store with this book about a boar struck down before her time who’s learning about the afterlife and trying to make up her mind about vengeance. Weiser’s proved himself gifted at spinning out a narrative and cast of characters more complex than most folks produce for kids, and his work is a sort of gateway to manga, with Japanese influence running strong behind much of what he does. Not convinced? Already want more? Check out an exclusive preview of Ghost Hog below, and keep an eye out for an additional preview in publisher Oni Press’s Free Comic Book Day offering this May, just ahead of Ghost Hog’s publication on May 7th.

Ghost Hog
Writer/Artist: Joey Weiser
Publisher: Oni Press
Release Date: May 7, 2019
Truff is the ghost of a young boar, fueled by fury towards the hunter who shot her down. She has a lot to learn about her new afterlife, and thankfully the forest spirits Claude and Stanley are there to guide her! However, they soon find that her parents, along with their fellow animal villagers, have been kidnapped by the malicious mountain demon Mava! Truff wants to help, but… the hunter is finally within her grasp, and if she lets him go, she may never get her revenge! Is vengeance all that being a ghost is good for? Or is there something stronger keeping this little pig tethered to the living world?
