Welcome to Hobtown, a charmingly bleak village (Population: 2,006) and an easy place to get bored if you don’t make your own fun. Hobtown Regional High’s top girl, Dana Nance, runs the Teen Detective Club—a registered after-school program that makes it their business to investigate each and every one of their town's bizarre occurrences including pagan secret societies, psychic assaults, and possible “wee man” sightings. Their small world of missing pets and shed fires is turned upside down when real-life kid adventurer and globetrotter Sam Finch comes to town and enlists them in their first real case: the search for his missing father. Something strange is going on, and no one in Hobtown will talk about it. It turns out Sam’s dad is the sixth man to go missing this year. The rot runs deep in Hobtown, and it’s up to the teen detectives and associates to stay alive long enough to crack the Case of the Missing Men! Childhood friends Kris Bertin and Alexander Forbes have built a truly unique and discrete universe in Hobtown—an exploration of small town identity drawing from the world of pulp, filtered through a lens of esoteric spirituality, skewed genre tropes, deft character work, and an incredible eye for detail.

From the smoke-filled clubs of 1917 New Orleans to the neon glow of 1968 Los Angeles, Deep Cuts is inspired by true events and follows the trailblazers who bled for the music that moved their souls. When a jazz legend’s death makes headlines, rising musicians Barry and Alice set out to honor the idol they never met. Their search uncovers the forgotten legacies of five extraordinary artists whose intertwined lives helped define the sound of an era, but whose names have largely been lost to time. Each chapter riffs off the last—musicians trading melodies across generations, shaping and echoing one another’s lives in a grand composition of rhythm, risk, and revelation culminating in one soulful crescendo. Deep Cuts introduces readers to the shared, “found family” legacy that is built note-by-note, bar-by-bar, into a song that never ends for those who know that good music never dies. Nods to true life historical figures throughout music history are in abundance within the pages of Deep Cuts. Characters are inspired by Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, Dizzy Gillespie, Nat “King” Cole, Charlie Parker, Duke Ellington, Chick Corea, Count Basie, Wayne Shorter, and many more. Elements of their struggles, successes, and personal style are intermixed into amalgams that illustrate some of the most notable flashpoints in America's music history. The story is rich with additional atmosphere and historical easter eggs including references to, and fictionalized versions of: the 1926 Hot Peppers sessions, real kidnapping of Mary McElroy, rock magazine Crawdaddy, the writing of Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe, the streets of New Orleans, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, The Wizard of Oz, and even down to Frank Early’s Saloon in old Storyville. Award winning composer/writer Joe Clark and bestselling writer Kyle Higgins ( Radiant Black) present a sweeping saga of ambition, heartbreak, and the untamed rhythm of jazz in Deep Cuts. This paperback, graphic novel epic spans six decades of music Americana, and is brought to life by an all-star cast of contributing interior artists. Clark himself is a multiple award winning music composer and arranger whose compositions and arrangements have been performed by the likes of Yo-Yo Ma, Randy Brecker, Jon Faddis, Kurt Elling, Phil Woods, Ira Sullivan, the Minnesota Orchestra, players from the Chicago Symphony, Louisiana Philharmonic, and more worldwide. His arrangements can also be heard on many albums, including Kanye West and Malik Yusef's "G.O.O.D. Morning G.O.O.D. Night.” As such, his background lends a musicality and authenticity to Deep Cuts. The superstar interior artists joining Higgins and Clark’s choir-of-talent include: Danilo Beyruth, Helena Masellis, Diego Greco, Ramón K Pérez ( Stillwater), Ignatz Award winning Juni Ba ( Monkey Meat), and Toby Cypress ( The Gravedigger’s Union) with coloring by Igor Monti ( Radiant Black, Inferno Girl Red, Supermassive). Deep Cuts also includes lead sheets of original songs by Chicago jazz composers, inspired by and connected to each chapter of this momentous story.

"A poignant depiction of mental illness and suicidal ideation." ? NPR A Haunted Girl is a horror story that explores the real-life terror that comes with the struggles of anxiety and depression. The fate of all life on Earth depends on a girl who doesn’t know if she wants to live. Cleo, a 16-year-old adopted Japanese-American whose anxiety and depression drives her to suicidal thoughts, is fresh out of the hospital and trying unsuccessfully to reintegrate back into her old life. What she doesn't know is that her real struggles are just beginning as she finds herself encountering an increasingly terrifying succession of ghosts. Is she losing her grip on reality...or is the explanation much, much worse. Courtesy of writers Ethan Sacks (Old Man Hawkeye, Star Wars: Bounty Hunters) and his daughter, Naomi Sacks and artist Marco Lorenzana (Hulk), this gripping saga aims to be both a paranormal thriller and an inspiration to those who are battling their own, less literal, demons in real life. Select praise for A Haunted Girl: "I just tore through the first issue of A Haunted Girl like a house fire. It's beautiful and haunting and harrowing and clearly the start of something amazing.” — Chuck Wendig , bestselling author of Black River Orchard and The Book of Accidents "I’ve been thinking about A Haunted Girl for days now.

Can't wait to see where this goes." — Daniel José Older , bestselling Star Wars novelist; Writer of The High Republic Adventures and author of Ballad & Dagger "A compelling mystery kicks off this first issue that nicely centers its young protagonist against some truly terrifying stuff; while also offering a worthy and inspirational real-world message." — Kelly Thompson , writer of Captain Marvel, The Cull, Black Cloak “Horror at its most human. An intimate tale of the psychological toll of depression wrapped in a larger story of impending supernatural cataclysm. Powerful and moving.” — Steven S. DeKnight , creator/showrunner of Spartacus, Marvel’s Daredevil “ A Haunted Girl is a beautiful story that tackles hard subjects with a deft touch. Ethan, Naomi and Marco blend real-world issues with a perfect amount of fantasy and horror to give us a first issue that makes you immediately want more. A stellar beginning." — Chip Zdarsky , writer of Daredevil, Batman, Public Domain "A beautiful book in every sense of the word. The art. The story. The emotion. Haunting and heartfelt, Ethan and Naomi Sacks's extremely personal story is perfectly matched in Marco Lorezana gorgeous art.

It's so much more than all that. It's a powerful and important work and you owe it to yourself to read it." — Matthew Rosenberg , writer of What's the Furthest Place from Here?, The Joker, Uncanny X-Men “Full disclosure: one of the authors of the fantastic series, A Haunted Girl, is my best friend. Ethan Sacks and his family are my family. For several years now, I’ve watched Naomi battle through her mental health crisis. Her and her family’s perseverance and how they came out the other side of it is nothing short of a miracle and a tribute to the love that binds them together. This book, like Naomi, is a miracle. A collaboration forged from the triumph of a family’s spirit. Yes, it’s a hell of a great story too, but it’s its raw authenticity that makes it a must-read for everyone.” — Joe Quesada "Compelling and frightfully evocative, Haunted Girl is a compelling horror tale with a powerful and emotional exegesis about mental health at its center. A perfect example of how comic books can touch lives and not just entertain." — Marc Guggenheim , showrunner on Arrow, writer of Han Solo & Chewbacca and X-Men: Gold "Like few comics before it, A Haunted Girl captures the abject terror and helplessness felt when a loved one is fighting a battle with demons only they can see. It's important in a way that average horror comics aren't - it's very existence is a testimonial to the power that unconditional love and support can bring to someone who is struggling with depression and suicidal thoughts. I couldn't be happier to read the powerful story Ethan, Naomi and Marco have created, nor could I be prouder that they are using it as a vehicle to partner with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, to help any and all readers that may need it." — Rich Douek , writer of Drive Like Hell, Breath of Shadows, Magic: The Gathering " A Haunted Girl is a special comic and, frankly, we don't get enough of those. Writers Ethan and Naomi Sacks, along with artist Marco Lorenzana, have taken their harrowing personal experiences with depression and crafted a tale that is both sobering and inventive. They have taken a very real and serious look at depression and its impact and have spun that into a unique fantasy tale unlike any you're apt to find on shelves this or any year." — Chris Condon , writer of That Texas Blood and The Enfield Gang Massacre
