Nearly-Deads With Malicious Intent: Cullen Bunn Talks ‘Ghostlore’
by Brendan M. Allen
Cullen Bunn pops in to talk about his new book, Ghostlore, from BOOM! Studios. One part anthology and one part ongoing family drama, the book centers on a father and daughter who discover they can both talk to the dead … and the dead really want to tell them ghost stories. But what sort of stories can a ghost tell? Bunn fights through the distractions of an office full of kittens to describe the artistic choices that bring Ghostlore to life.
“We’ve all heard of ghost stories…but what ghost stories to the ghost themselves tell?
After a deadly accident, estranged father and daughter Lucas and Harmony Agate can see the dead–an overwhelming amount of them. Each one with their own warnings, cries for help, and malevolence alike. But the pastor and his daughter aren’t the only ones with this haunting ability; there are other nearly-deads, some of which have malicious intentions…”
Written by Cullen Bunn, with artist Leomacs, colorist Jason Wordie, and letterer Ed Dukeshire, along with guest artist Brian Hurtt and colorist Bill Crabtree, and featuring a main cover by series artist Leomacs and variant covers by Brian Hurtt, Tonči Zonjić, Reiko Murakami, and Jenny Frison, Ghostlore #1 will be in comic shops tomorrow.
