Award winning Star Wars: Skeleton Crew set designer, Hunger Games film concept artist, and Eisner Award nominated cartoonist Dawn Brown will bring her worldbuilding and storytelling chops to the page with an original graphic novel, Gracie’s Ghost, slated to hit shelves this September from Image Comics.

Gracie’s Ghost weaves the heartwarming tale of an eccentric kid navigating the perilous landscape of school and family life—with the help of her guardian ghost.

Divided into brief, self-contained stories connected by themes about sibling rivalry, empathy, and bullying, Gracie’s Ghost is a sweet and emotional book, reminiscent of Calvin & Hobbes, The Girl and the Glim, and Sheets.

The perfect read for tweens and middle schoolers, Gracie’s Ghost will charm any reader who’s ever felt like a little bit of an outsider or sought the counsel of a good imaginary friend.

The Gracie’s Ghost original graphic novel (ISBN: 9781534331334) will be in 6×9″ trim size paperback format and available at local comic book shops on Wednesday, September 10 and independent bookstores, Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, and Indigo on Tuesday, September 23.
