The Ghost Compendium Volume 2

by Chris Warner, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Adam Hughes (Illustrator), Christopher Sebela, Phil Noto (Illustrator)

Overview

The first compendium asked the question, what happened to Elisa Cameron? This oversized comics collection has the answers.

Also, read the reimagined relaunch of Dark Horse’s spectral avenger, Ghost!

Elisa Cameron is dead—or is she? Having spent an after-lifetime trying to reconstruct the events that lead to her death, Ghost finally has the answers that she fought so hard to uncover. But like a broken mirror, the shards of the past can be dangerous and razor sharp, and you may not like the face looking back at you once you piece them all together. The answers to all of our spectral avenger’s questions can be found here, but a past revealed may mean a future destroyed.

All of Ghost’s second series is collected in this volume and features writing by the inimitable talents of Chris Warner and Mike Kennedy and haunting images by Christian Zanier, Ryan Benjamin, Dan Norton, Jason Pearson, Francisco Ruiz Velasco, and more!

Then, trade the decaying infrastructure of Arcadia for the vibrant culture of Chicago’s city streets in 2012’s reimagining of Ghost. One warm night in the Windy City’s Resurrection Cemetery, two paranormal investigators accidentally summon a beautiful, transparent woman. Their search for her true identity uncovers a dark, hidden history of the city and a deadly alliance between political corruption and demonic science! In the middle of it all stands Elisa Cameron, a woman trapped between worlds.

Ghost series three is helmed by two forces of nature in Kelly Sue DeConnick and Christopher Sebela with unforgettable artwork by Phil Noto, Jenny Frison, Alex Ross, Terry and Rachel Dodson, Ryan Sook, Ariel Olivetti, Jan Duursema, Harvey Tolibao, and so many more unforgettable artistic talents.

About the Author

Chris Warner is an American comic book writer, artist, and editor best known for his contributions to Dark Horse Comics. He is also known for his occasional work for both Marvel Comics and DC Comics.

Kelly Sue DeConnick is the Eisner Award-nominated writer of Bitch Planet (Image), Pretty Deadly (Image), Captain Marvel (Marvel) and Osborn (Marvel) and got her start in the comics industry adapting Japanese and Korean comics into English. Five years and more than ten thousand pages of adaptation later, she transitioned to American comics with 30 Days of Night: Eben and Stella for Steve Niles and IDW. Work for Image, Boom, Oni, Humanoids, Dark Horse, DC, Vertigo and Marvel soon followed. Today DeConnick is best known for surprise hits like Carol Danvers's rebranding as Captain Marvel and the Eisner-nominated mythological western Pretty Deadly, the latter co-created with artist Emma Ríos. DeConnick's most recent venture, the sci-fi kidney-punch called Bitch Planet, co-created with Valentine De Landro, launched to rave reviews in December 2014. DeConnick lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband, Matt Fraction, and their two children.

Christopher Sebela is a two-time Eisner nominated writer of creator-owned comics such as Shanghai Red, Crowded, House Amok, High Crimes, We(l)come Back, Heartthrob, Dead Letters and properties like Captain Marvel, Fantastic Four, Aliens vs. Predator, Escape from New York, Kiss/Vampirella and other stuff. Sadly he has also become fairly well known as the experiencer and chronicler of a month spent living in a clown motel. The less said about this, the better.

Amongst other things, he is a graphic designer, a smoker, queer, bearded, on brain medication, in deep want of an army of dogs and forever in search of caffeine. He was born in Chicago, lived in Kansas City and is currently residing in Portland, Oregon. He is not writing about himself in the third person, that would be weird. He's pretty sure he has you all totally fooled.

Adam Hughes is an American comics artist and illustrator most commonly known for his stylized renderings of women; super heroines, damsels in distress, figures in fantasy. About the time Adam began making waves in art circles and his artwork really began to be noticed, the term "Good Girl Art" had been coined, and it best describes exactly what Adam does. He is considered by many to be one of a new generation of Good Girl artists inspired by Petty, Vargas and Elvgren. He is well known for his cover work on titles such as Wonder Woman and Catwoman.

Phil Noto, a former Disney animator who worked on films including The Lion King and Pocahontas, started in comics with DC’s Birds of Prey and Jonah Hex, and DC/Wildstorm’s Danger Girl. For Marvel, he has worked on titles ranging from Black Widow to Uncanny X-Force, and he explored the Star Wars galaxy with Chewbacca and Poe Dameron. Also an accomplished painter, Noto has been exhibited in solo shows in New York, Los Angeles and Paris.
